    Data Validation with Index Match

    Hi Guys hope all is well.

    I have attached a spreadsheet for ease of reference.

    In a nushell I have two dropdown lists Gender in cell E2 and Ethnicity in cell D2.

    Depending on the selection of d2 and e2 I would like cell f2 to display the appropriate figure from the table called Percentage B3:C20

    Thanks alot for any help.

    Cheers

    You could use:

    =IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$C$20,MATCH($D$2,$A$3:$A$20,0),MATCH($E$2,$B$2:$C$2,0)),"")
    or given numeric output

    =IFERROR(SUMIF($B$2:$C$2,$E$2,INDEX($B$3:$C$20,MATCH($D$2,$A$3:$A$20,0),0)),"")
    former more flexible in terms of output data type
