    Match and Index Formula

    First of all thanks for the help before we start. I have a real file that is similar to the dummy file I will attach to this post. Onto the file:

    The file I am giving, as you can see has 14 columns but only 2 are going to be used. What I want to do is look up the class first on the table sheet, Then from the class I want to lookup the amount shown in column J. In the step column( N), I want it to return the header (start, Step 1, etc.) from the table sheet from where we looked up the previous 2 lookups. If you could help I would appreciate it. Any questions ask.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    It works great for the top class, what would I change to get the second, or in the real file the other classes to work, because right now when I copy it down I get a #ref!. Otherwise thanks, it worked great for the first class.

    One too many functions...

    Try:

    =INDEX(Table!$B$1:$E$1,MATCH(D2,INDEX(Table!$B$2:$E$8,MATCH(J2,Table!$A$2:$A$8,0),0),0))

    copied down.
