    References a price to get the part

    I have this spreadsheet that I use for quoting a custom build computer. the options are on the side of the sheet and I want it to automatically add the corresponding part into the system list, I need this to be easily updated and adjustable for different base systems and new parts.

    I just cant get the formula right for it to display the part name in the A column depending on the price entired into the E column. the reference infomation is on the same sheet (part name in the G column and price in J) I have more parts listed in K column and the prices for those are in the N column. I just it to do the reference the different models of the parts not all parts on the sheet

    the sheet is in excel 2007 format

    without looking at your sheet, a formula of the type

    =if(isna(match(e1,j$1:j$1000,0),"",offset(g$1,match(e1,j$1:j$1000,0),0)))&if(isna(match(e1,n$1:n$1000,0),"",offset(k$1,match(e1,n$1:n$1000,0),0)))

    should do it for the price entered in cell e1
    not a professional, just trying to assist.....

    I tried the formula you provided but excel says "you've entered to many arguments for this function" when i try to place it.

    =IF(ISNA(MATCH(E1,J$1:J$1000,0)),"",OFFSET(G$1,MATCH(E1,J$1:J$1000,0),0))&IF(ISNA(MATCH(E1,N$1:N$1000,0)),"",OFFSET(K$1,MATCH(E1,N$1:N$1000,0),0))

    Almost there, when entered as provided i get 2 parts listed even with there is no value in E8.

    =IF(ISNA(MATCH(E8,J$8:J$11,0)),"",OFFSET(G$8,MATCH(E8,J$8:J$11,0),0))

    with just this part of it i get the effect. however its does not match the dollar value entered when to the correct price.

    for example with nothing entered it should stay blank but it will display the name of the item with a 50 dollar price, but if i enter 50 it displays the item of a 60 dollar price and if i enter 0.00 for the base item it has no effect
