    Complicated lookup

    I know this is possible, but could you please assist. See attached. I have a table and I was to do a look across and up? Maybe I am building the lookup table wrong?

    I have a code and a value and I want to know based on that code and value, what category it falls in? but the categories are currently placed in the top of each column.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Perhaps:

    =INDEX(B1:D1,MATCH(B10,INDEX(B2:D5,MATCH(A10,A2:A5,0),)))

    Regards

    Re: Complicated lookup

    This worked great on my sample problem I sent - but has an issue with categorizing the MAX column. Please see attached (larger) spreadsheet with formulas. I highlighted a row that represents a wrong result. Can anyone diagnose?

    If you look again at the formula I posted and the one you've attempted to adapt to your actual set-up you'll see that you haven't adapted the range references consistently.

    Regards
