Default Shorten formula

Hello,

You use the formula part

MATCH(I36&$U$17&$J38,'[Master Material Pricing.xls]Master Material'!$C
$3:$C$677&'[Master Material Pricing.xls]Master Material'!$E$3:$E
$677&'[Master Material Pricing.xls]Master Material'!$G$3:$G$677,0)

THREE times in your big formula.

Move this part into another cell, say Z7 and substitute the 3
instances in your original formula by Z7.

If you want to simplify your formula further, get the other parts
INDEX(...,MATCH()) out into helper cells, too. With a little cost of
additional helper cells you will be rewarded by a huge gain in better
overview/simplicity.

Regards,
Bernd
