I know how this works and why
=index(CostList!$A$1:$E$200,Match($A54,CostList!$A $1:$A$200,0),Match($M$1,CostList!$A$1:$E$1,0))
but now I have confused my self to the point i can not progress. What I need
to do is look up a single Cell, Match it to a column and then get the
result from the next column. Like Following.

A5 Butter C3 Milk 2
D3 Cream 14
E3 Butter 7
F3 Cheese 3

B5 Result (7).

I have tried Lookup, VLOOKup etc and nothign happens. Any help to Unstick me
as I am nto starting to do alot of single lookup verse 1 to many columns. BTW
the result shold be 7. I dont need the (). I have no problem with matching
2 items liek above but single have me stumped. Thanks in advance.

Ok for the most part it works. If I change A5(from Butter to another it may
or may not give me the right info. If I out another column like B5(and make
it a number 1.2.3.4.5 etc and then number next to C3 in B3 a number it gives
em the exact number every time. How do i fix the text part soit doest it
every time?

Ok i have worked it and found no matter if its a number or text it has to be
in ascendign order to get the result next to it. How do I make ti match what
is in A5 and get what is next to a5 as the value or text in A5 may change?

did you try Vlookup with False instead of TRUE

=VLOOKUP(A5,C3:F4,2,FALSE)
