Default Help to build a Look Up Function or What Ever Function Excel 2

Well first off, you need some kind of unique identifier in your table. WHICH
TABLE the one with the prices or the one that has the event, car type..... a
little confused, did you get my last response.

could be as easy as number them 1,2,3,etc. Or you can do a numbering system
that gives you an idea of what it means like Air.Event1, Air.Event2, etc.

So then you could use a VLookup function in the Time column, like

Vlookup(Event,YourTableList,ColNumber,FALSE)

So you need to create a new column that determines what Column should be
selected in the vlookup. For instance insert a new column F

If(E7="Car",1,IF(E7="Limo",2,If(E7="SUV",3,"N/A")))

So your final vlookup in the time column would be

Vlookup(B7,YourListArray,F7,FALSE)

I might be totally off here, but let me know if you have any questions.
