If the data has a column of values that can be used to identify the row
required, you can use a lookup formula to retrieve values.

see help on
Vlookup
Lookup

and Index and Match.

Hello Nuno

I inserted a column of unique numbers 1 to n on both sheets
and used this formula.

=INDEX(Table,MATCH(A13,Index,0),3)

Table is the list of data including the numerical index.

3 is the offset value

If you want to perform some calculation after finding the
value try say

=INDEX(Table,MATCH(A13,Index,0),3)* 17.75%

Regards
Peter
