I want to put a given value (Cost) in a given position in an array (years 2017-2023) based on a third cell (Cost Yr).. I know (suspect) that a Index Match combo is the way to go but am struggling to get it to work, and I know it's a simple solution, but can't seem to do it and suspect that perhaps an alternative formula is needed.

you can just use an IF
=IF($A3=C$2,$B3,"")

In B3 (double comma intentional):
=INDEX($C$3:$I$4,,MATCH(A3,$C$2:$I$2,0))
Copy down.
EDIT: Sorry, misread the requirement. Etaf's answer is correct.
