    1 - do not use spaces in your Tab Names - makes it harder to reference in formulas - I would suggest remove "shirt Prices" - then the choice in D11 will reflect the tab
    2 - Try renaming your ranges WhiteFirst, DarkFirst, ColoredFirst

    then when you index the range you can use Indirect($D$11&"First[1C]:[12C]") etc...

    Thanks for the response. I changed some things on the calculator. Right now all the calculation are working the way I want,
    the only thing disturbing me is: I want the calculator to calculate from the sheet of selected color.
    For example, white color- calculation should be done on with the sheet "white".

    Kindly assist me on how to do that, I'm a beginner at excel.

    Thanks, looking forward to your response.

    Replace the names of ranges:
    First ---> White
    First3 ---> Dark
    In the cell 'I7' formula
    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT($D$11&"[[1C]:[12C]]"); MATCH($D$9; INDIRECT($D$11&"[Break Point]"); 1); MATCH($D$10; INDIRECT($D$11&"[#Headers]"); 0)-1); 0)
    Regards.

    Sorry, change semicolons ';' to commas ','
    I wrote this in the Polish version of excel and I did not exchange it, sorry
