Hey hey :D

Need some help with this formula that my dumb excel brain can't get to work.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/piggymon/Odds%20and%20Ends/excelchart.png

This is a very simplified chart, but what I need to do is cross reference some of the information when I fill in the fields.
What I want to do is fill in Amount (B9 Yellow box) and Size (B10 Orange box) which then cross references the information and gives me the total.

So, Amount = 2000, Size = A4 Double, Total should = 3


If I can get this working, I can add in other charts using the same formula and hopefully make our quoting system a lot easier and quicker :)

Alternatively a nice long 'IF'/'AND'/'OR' formula would do the job...

=OFFSET(A1,MATCH(B9,A2:A5,1),MATCH(B10,B1:E1,1))

=OFFSET(A1,MATCH(B9,A2:A5,1),MATCH(B10,B1:E1,1))

Keep getting either errors or incorrect results on that one...

Could just be Excel 2007 though....

Yup, after chatting to young Desmo. He changed the '1's to '0's and doing the same on mine made it work (under 2007 and 2000).

Fun Fun Fun

Oops, I knew it should have been '0'. No idea why I typed '1'
