    Re: Using vlookup to find table from a table

    Hello Andy,
    not sure I understand exactly what you want to achieve.

    Vlookup has 4 arguments :
    - The value you're looking up
    - The table you're looking the value from
    - the index which is the offset
    - and finally 'FALSE'

    Something worth noticing, is that the function will lookup the value in the first column of your table.

    If you give me more context on your problem, I can help you further.

    Hi Hemelaire,

    Thanks for your reply - I am not sure if VLOOKUP and INDEX will be a correct excel formula to use for this scenario?

    LEVEL A B C D
    9
    8 A5 U5
    7 A4 U4
    6 A3 U3
    5 G5 B5 A2 U2
    4 G4 B4 A1 U1
    3 G3 B3
    2 G2 B2
    1 G1 B1

    For example, i need to in level 3 and group b = the result should come back as B3

    Thanks
    Andy

    See attached sheet. Use =INDEX($C$2:$F$10,MATCH(A1,B2:B10,0),MATCH(A2,C1:F1,0)) in a3 to look up a1 and a2.
