Chris_Cook One possibility...
Grid 1: =VLOOKUP(B4,GRID,2,0)
Grid 2: =VLOOKUP(E4,GRID,3,0)
Grid 3: =VLOOKUP(H4,GRID,4,0)
Where GRID is defined in Name Manager as:
=Sheet3!$A$2:$D$6
EDIT:
Also, if there was a need to make the col_index_num argument dynamic, based on the GRID #, you could use the MATCH function as follows:
Grid 1: =VLOOKUP(B4,GRID,MATCH(B3,HEAD,0),0)
Where HEAD is defined in Name Manager as:
=Sheet3!$A$1:$D$1
The formula can then be copied across for Grid 2 and Grid 3.
