    Automatic list update except for one number

    See attached sample.

    Column G1 - I place a number referring to either Column A, B, C or D lists.

    As your see all numbers work in G and appropriate list appears until you get to the number "2".

    Don't know why? What did I fail to do? What is the quark?

    Because the headers are not listed in ascending order from left to right, you need to include the 0 type argument in the MATCH() function in order to get exact match.

    =INDEX($A:$D,ROW(),MATCH($G$1,$A$1:$D$1,0))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
