Is there a way to do indexing but with multiple rows of headings? Let
me explain. I have item numbers that start at A4 and down. The top
heading is companys names in cells merged from B1:G1 and H1:M1. The
second set of headings under this heading are different programs
offered by each company merged into cells B2:C2, D2:E2, F2:G2, H2:I2,
J2:K2, L2:M2. And teh last set of headings is a quantity that coudl
be ordered from each program. B3, C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, H3, I3, J3, K3,
L3, M3. So Company 1 is in B1:G1 and company 2 is in H1:M1. Program
1 is in B2:C2, Pro2 is in D2:E2... Then Program 1 for company 2 is in
H2:I2, Program 2 for company 2 is in J2:K2.... And the last heading
is quantity of 10 or 20 for each program. So in B3:M3 it woudl
alternate between 10 and 20.

O1 = Company 1
O2 = Program 3
O3 = 20
O4 = 3 (this is the item number)

Since items start in A4 the third item is in cell A6. Company 1 is
B1:G1, Program 3 is F2:G2, and quantity of 20 is in G3. So now after
all of that is there a way to index cell G6 based on this information?

Thanks,
Jay

There are multiple layers of headings. So I want to be able to index
down based on the multiple headings. Company is merged and takes up 6
columns, Under Company is programs. each program takes up 2 columns.
Under Programs is the quantity of 10 or 20. Down column A starting at
A4 is the Item#s. So I am trying to index if it is company 1 and
program 3 and quantity of 20 and item number 3. I want it to be able
to return G6. I hope this makes more sense.

I understand your layout now. You explained that well. But I still
don't understand what you are doing. You say "So I am trying to index if it
is company 1 and program 3 and quantity of 20 and item number 3. I want it
to be able
to return G6." I see how this gets you to G6 but I don't see what you do or
how you do it. What do you physically do to select the company, the program,
the quantity, the item number? Do you click on some cells in some lists?
Do you have a series of Data Validation cells with these lists? Do you want
to enter these things into some cells. What do you do?
You say you want it to "return G6". What do you mean by that? Exactly what
do you want to see on the screen? Do you want to see the value of G6 in
some cell? Do you want to see the text "G6" in some cell?

That is why I am trying to index to that point. In the first post I
had said that in
O1 = Company
O2 = Program
O3 = Quantity
O4 = Item Number.

I want to use this information to index the array that is in B4:M9.
So like I had said I want the result to be G6. Just like when you do
=Index(B4:M9,Match(O4,A4:A9,1),Match(O1,A2:M1,1)) This woudl look up
the company and the item but woudl not pay any attention to the
Program or quantity. So I am trying to index the array based on more
then 2 sets of coordiantes. Is this possible?
