    =VLOOKUP(A2,'Prices per Zone'!$B$2:$O$27,MATCH(H2,'Prices per Zone'!$B$1:$O$1,0),FALSE)

     

    I entered 2 sample sheets and set up the formula according to your data. Above formula should work.

     

    Please note that this formula looks similar to the one i suggested yesterday but there is an important difference. The lookup value will be found in column B and then formula returns the expected result.

=VLOOKUP(A25,'Prices per Zone'!$C$2:$AQ$36, MATCH(H25,'Prices per Zone'!$C$1:$AQ$1,0),0)

 

Maybe this works. With match function you can check in which column the area were it should go is entered.

Thanks for replying! Unfortunately, that didn´t seem to work. But I tried using an IF formula, and I got somewhere with it. Still some minor errors, but they are more workable. 

 

As the IF formula was so long, I had to create 2 CONCAT formulas to narrow the size down. The used the VLOOKUP formula to read in a normal way and link into the IF formula. Not sure if this makes sense, its quite a process, but it should make things easier in future.
