How can I use the values from a few cells to find a single value from my
larger range. The criteria cells have dataValidation set to "list"
referencing their own ranges. I want to query my named range rngMaxIssueAges
finding the intersection of the State, Term, Gender and from the appropriate
column*.

I've looked at a few sumproduct examples but I'm getting twisted about the
range syntax and my query complexity. I have the a few of the pices of this
process in place, if there's an easier way that does not involve VBA (I'm
very fond of VBA, but I want to learn these worksheet functions and not use
any macros or ActiveX)

I am able to get single values for each of my individual lookups for state,
term, gender, age and class.

*My Column value comes from the datavalidation in cell M20 from rngClass
row A
1 Class
2 PB
3 PF
4 SL
5 FS... When PB is selected in cell M20, match(M20,rngClass,0)+2 renders the
correct column 4. If State = MD ,Term = 10 ,Gender=M and the class column = 4
(PB) I want to get back 80. ...here's an excerpt from named range
rngMaxIssueAges

With your data above in A1:K17, and State, Term, Gender and Class in M17:M20,
put the following array formula in M21 (commit with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):

=INDEX(D2:K17,MATCH(M17&M18&M19,A2:A17&B2:B17&C2:C 17,0),MATCH(M20,D1:K1,0))
