Two-way lookup

Advanced Sales Ops

Sales and pricing teams often store rates in a matrix with one dimension by product and the other by region. A two-way lookup returns the value at the exact row/column intersection.

In this sheet, use the price matrix in A4:E9 to complete the quote rows in A13:F15.

Your objective:

  • In E13:E15, return unit price from Product (column B) and Region (column C) using a two-way lookup.
  • In F13:F15, calculate monthly total as Units × Unit price.
  • Keep ranges anchored so formulas fill down correctly.

New to this pattern? See INDEX MATCH explained step by step, from the position MATCH finds to the value INDEX returns.

Hint 1

A possible approach: INDEX with two MATCH functions (row match for product, column match for region).

Hint 2

Lock the matrix ranges ($) so they don’t shift when you fill from row 13 to 15.

Hint 3

For totals, multiply Units by the looked-up Unit price in the same row.
