Index Match Match - wrong value returned
Your problem was that your range of menu lookup and your definition to Table1 did not correspond. Once you have defined a table any names you need for validation or to identify parts of the table can be defined in terms of the structured references.
I have used 'AvailableSize' both for validation and in the formula
= INDEX( DrinksPrices,
MATCH( Drink, Menu, 0 ),
MATCH( Size, AvailableSize, 0 )+1 )
where 'AvailableSize' is defined as part of the header row.
= DrinksPrices[[#Headers],[TALL]:[VENTI]]
Similarly 'Menu', which refers to the data field,
= DrinksPrices[CLASSICS/FAVOURITES]
is used for both purposes.
The table 'DrinksPrices' refers to the data only and does not include the header row nor any totals row.
