Default Fill cells automatically from 2 variables

So, are you saying that in your example "a", "b", "c" etc represent
values that you want to return rather than those letters literally?

One way of doing it is to put those values in a column somewhere, eg
in X1:X16, in the order shown, then you could use this in the cell you
refer to as E:

=INDEX(X$1:X$16,(M-1)*4+C)

where M and C will have to be changed to the cell references that they
represent.

You might like to build in some error-checking:

=IF(OR(M="",C=""),"",INDEX(X$1:X$16,(M-1)*4+C))

Hope this helps.

Pete

Hello - I am trying to add a function to a spreadsheet that means when 2
variables are completed (currency & month - 4 options on each) it returns a
predetermined value. *I thought I'd nearly got there (with a large amount of
help) by using a combination of If & AND functions, but it keeps giving an
error message. *Can anyone help?

In case, I'm not being clear, I need a formula that will deal with this:
If M =1, C=1, then E = a
If M =1, C=2, then E = b
If M =1, C=3, then E = c
If M =1, C=4, then E = d
If M =2, C=1, then E = e
If M =2, C=2, then E = f
If M =2, C=3, then E = g
If M =2, C=4, then E = h
If M =3, C=1, then E = i
If M =3, C=2, then E = j
If M =3, C=3, then E = k
If M =3, C=4, then E = l
If M =4, C=1, then E = m
If M =4, C=2, then E = n
If M =4, C=3, then E = o
If M =4, C=4, then E = p

Where M and C are selected by the user from 4 options, and E is the result
given from values that I have provided. *Any ideas?
Many thanks
