When you are done typing the formula, or pasting it, hold down CTRL
and SHIFT, then press Enter. Usually you just press Enter, which isn't
enough in this case. You can tell the difference because Excel will
put braces {} around the entire formula, like this:

{=INDEX(Data!G1:G4,MATCH(Results!A2&Results!B1,Dat a!A1:A4&Data!
B1:B4,0))}

And by "I have the cell active", I'm guessing you mean you have it
"selected" if it hasn't worked so far. You actually have to be in Edit
mode, where there is a cursor blinking in the formula bar.
