I need the formula to return a correct value based on month and currency.

I have came up with this

=IF(B28=B$1,VLOOKUP(A28,A$2:E$25,2,0),IF(B28=C$1,VLOOKUP(A28,A$2:E$25,3,0),IF(B28=D$1,VLOOKUP(A28,A$2:E$25,4,0),0)))

Is it possible to make it simpler, especially when i need to add more
currencies and months to it?

Thanks

Edwin

Hi,

=index($B$2:$E$25,Match(B28,$B$1:$D$1,0),Match(A28,$A$2:$A$25,0))

Using VLOOKUP()

=VLOOKUP(A28,A225,MATCH(B28,A11,0),0)
