Default VLOOKUP question concerning population a price

I really need to use the VLOOKUP formula.
It's for a class.


Using Max's table in A1:C4

Lookup values:

A10 = location
B10 = age

=VLOOKUP(A10,A1:C4,MATCH(B10,A1:C1),0)

Thanks but I actually need to use the VLOOKUP formula, I had success doing
it
the way you described.

One simple way is to set-up a "cross-tab" price table,
then use index/match

Assume the price table below is set-up in A1:C4

PriceTable 0 18
Front 35 40
Balcony 10 15
Floor 20 30

Then if you have the age/seat running in E2:F2 down, eg:

12 Balcony
19 Front
18 Floor

you could place this in G2:
=IF(COUNTA(E2:F2)<2,"",INDEX($B$2:$C$4,MATCH(F2,$A $2:$A$4,0),MATCH(E2,$B$1:$C$1)))
and copy G2 down to return the correct prices, viz.:

12 Balcony 10
19 Front 40
18 Floor 30

If I had a seat list and price list according to age;

Lets say 18 and over is $30.00 and under 18 is $20.00 that is for a
floor
level seat. A balcony seat is $15.00 if you are 18 and over. It is
$10.00 if
you are under 18. Then you have a front row seat that is $40.00
dollars if
you are 18 and over and $35.00 if you are under 18.

I have to determine the price according to age and seat selection.

Any help is sure appreciated I am missing some step but can not
figure out
where. I hope I have given enough information. If not let me
know...THANKS
