Can you be a bit more specific? What exactly are you trying to achieve? What
is your input data? What are your formulas? What results did you expect?
What did you get instead?

But in general, the answer is YES

Because you probably need the prices in separate columns, you need 4
formulas.
You might take a look in HELP for the MATCH() function to avoid duplication
of your somewhat complex mechanism to find the right row and use INDEX() to
get the prices.

If you're talking about the ability to *copy* the formula across columns,
along a row, and *automatically increment* the column index number, just
replace the "2" with "Column(B:B)".

The "Column(B:B)" does *not* mean you're indexing Column B (although you
very well might, just as a coincidence), it's used because it equates to
"2", and will increment as it's copied along a row.

=IF(C19="","",VLOOKUP(C19,INDIRECT(B19&"List"),Col umn(B:B),FALSE))

The colums I am gathering the information from are on a separate sheet. I
want 4 prices from a different sheet to appear in that cell.
