    Search table for data in a pull down and "folklore"

    Camping Activities (1)(2).xlsx

    I am trying to match data from a pulldown in G4 in the Activities tab, in a table in the Kingdom tab N29:X36, with the word "folklore" from H4 to folklore in n29:x36 (again in the Kingdom tab) and return the value from that chart but on cell to the right (the actual value to be added).

    I hope this makes a lick of sense. It sounds like a mouthful while writing it.


    I tried:
    =INDEX(Kingdom!$N$29:$X$36,MATCH($G$4,Kingdom!N29:$X$36,0),MATCH($F$4,Kingdom!$N$29:$X$36,0)+1) without success.

    Are you still using Excel 2007?

    Please update your forum profile NOW.

    Then try this:

    =LET(f,FILTER(Kingdom!$Q$29:$X$36,Kingdom!$N$29:$N$36=G4),INDEX(f,MATCH(LEFT(F4,FIND(" ",F4)-1),f,0)+1))

    It must be difficult keeping up with all the changes made in the various Excel versions.
    I updated my account.
    I am getting a "function isn't valid" pop-up error.

    Provide a workbook showing the problem, please. Where is WV? Are you using a European locale?

    WV is West Virginia in the southeastern part of the United States. Sorry I don't understand what you mean by workbook? Do you mean the excel file I attached?
    I will update my location with US details.

    Have you looked at the workbook I attached? It’s your workbook with my formula working.
