    I am not 100% sure that I follow...

    but assuming you want to enter something like Goods B in A7 and Mill 2 in A8, then entering this formula:

    =INDEX($B$2:$D$4,MATCH(A7,$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH(A8,$B$1:$D$1,0))

    will result in 8 (at the intersection of the inputs).

    Similar for other table.

    Is that what you meant?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    My goal is to have price table (schedule) right under first one with formula PRICE + DELIVERY cost. And I need some kind of user-friendly pop-up cell where I can choose destination.

    For the "popups", I think you are looking for Data Validation found in the Data menu. From there you select List from allow section, then enter the range your selections are in.

    I am not sure I understand yet about the schedule... can you repost the sheet with a sample of what you want to see?

    Dear NBVC,

    Yes, data validation is smth that I was looking for. Here is what I made (please check attached .xls file).

    I have FCA schedule in top left corner - this is prices for different goods at different mills
    I have freight rate schedule in top right corner from several mills to different destinations
    I have DDP schduele - this is calculation for goods+freight for different mills and destination.

    I need to choose destination and get a proper price. I made it for Mill #1 now and I want to ask what is the easiest way use they same formula for the rest of the mills.VLOOKUP.xls

    If the table column postions don't necessarily coincide with your price list, then try:

    Thank you, I found it myself. Could be useful, but for another situations. I need something more "dynamic", so I can change my calculations on spot. In my main worksheet I have more parametrs for final price calculation (like TAX, profit, etc.. ), so using drop-down list looks more effiecient.
