Hi,

If you cjange your formula to the one below and drag right the column number
increments

=VLOOKUP($A7,$A$2:$D$4,COLUMN(B2),FALSE)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I am trying to us a vlookup formula which is a little more dynamic than just
a vlookup...I am looking to return sales figures for a given product accross
several months.

1 Jan Feb Mar
2 prod A 10 20 30
3 prod B 5 15 6
4 Prod C 5 1 13

The current formula is: VLOOKUP($A7,$A$2:$D$4,2,FALSE)
Is there a way to change the index column to account for the change in
month, without having to just change the column from 2 to 3 to 4 as I move
accross months...can I add some other index or match, to match the month name
and return the matching value that cooresponds with the related month?
