    How to make Vlookup or return results that are not in the first column of the array?

    *QUESTION SOLVED by Jonmo1*

    Im trying to use Vlookup or Index/Match (or any other function) retrieve a value (in this example, 500) in an array, which is associated with a row label ("Supermarket") that is NOT in the left-most column ("Date", it is under "Category"). The array cannot be changed to make this row's column the first of the array.

    The table looks like this:

    Date / Category / Value

    Day 1 / Pet Expenses / 123
    Day 2 / Restaurant / 231
    Day 3 / Supermarket / 500
    Day 4 / Plants / 213

    There are arrays for every month. Since the supermarket row changes every month but the value column doesn't, I only need to make the row lookup flexible to change every month. The issue is that it is not on the left-most column. Could you please let me know if you have any suggestions? Many thanks!
