My data table is like this:

Symbol Total 549S0A1 919S0B1 919S0A1
Total 245216 44296 41402 16053
QQQQ 20478 1009 2837 1558
MSFT 15754 2107 1857 250
SPY 5314 1143 198
AAPL 5212 231 1167 331

I am looking for a formula to put into the 3rd row below that will take the
value in row 1 and row 2 and return the corresponding value in the table
above - the result is shown below as well. For row 2 below, I was hoping the
formula would be able to look at just the first 3 characters of the table
above - so if there are multiple instances, the formula will sum up the
values.

QQQQ
919
=2837+1558 (4395)

Thank you in advance.

You can see some examples of the INDEX and MATCH on Debra Dalgleish site:
http://contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html
The examples 2 and 3 for INDEX and MATCH show how to extract single values
from a table with a similar layout.
What it is more complex is getting the sum of the result with a simple
formula, you may need to do it in two steps (getting the values for the
individual codes and adding up)

Hope this helps,
Miguel.

Thank you in advance.

Assuming that A1:E6 contains the data, A10 contains QQQQ, and A11
contains 919, try the following formula which needs to be confirmed with
CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER...

=SUM(IF(A3:A6=A10,IF(LEFT(C1:E1,LEN(A11))+0=A11,C3 :E6)))

Hope this helps!

Thank you in advance.

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(C1:E1,3)=""&A10)*(A3:A6=A9)*(C3: E6))

where A1:E6 is the table, A9 holds QQQQ and A10 holds 919
