    A certain cell value to look at info from a certain table

    Hi,

    Question number 2 of (who only knows!).

    What formula would i use and how would i use it to pull information from different tables depending on the value of that certain cell?

    For example:
    • I want cell A1 show the information
    • If A2 was "1" or a word, it would report on cell Sheet2!A3
    • If A2 was "2" or another number it would report on cell Sheet2!A7
    • And so on for numerous numbers or words

    I know it is going to be a very long formula, that doesnt bother me as long as it can do what i need it to. I really hope this makes sense, its hard trying to describe something like this in words!
    If you need any more additional info please let me know.

    OK, i have managed to answer my own question just by playing around. I am going to use a very long "if" formula.

    However, my criteria has now changed.

    Using the above scenario can i amend it so that:
    A2="1" or a word AND A3="1" or a word it takes the data from Sheet2!A5
    A2="1" or a word AND A3="2" or another word it takes the data from Sheet2!A6
    A2="1" or a word AND A3="3" or another word it takes the data from Sheet2!A7
    A2="2" or a word AND A3="1" or another word it takes the data from Sheet2!B5
    A2="2" or a word AND A3="2" or another word it takes the data from Sheet2!B6

    Does that make sense??? It does in my head!

    Thanks to anyone who can help me here.

    Ok, this is getting stupid now. I cant even make it work with multiple IF formulas.

    How do i make it that one value in one cell brings up one answer and a different value in the same cell brings up a different value?
