Look up fields across a horizontal source

Enter C8 and fill C8:C11. Each A8:A11 query is a literal text identifier matched case-insensitively against B1:G1; *, ? and ~ are identifier characters, not patterns. Return the value from table-relative row B8:B11 of B1:G4, where 2 is Net amount, 3 Days elapsed and 4 Adjustment. Duplicate headers use the leftmost matching column. Missing headers return Not found, while a found numeric zero stays zero. Headers and queries are nonempty ASCII text up to 40 characters, including leading zeroes; source measures are finite numbers within ±1,000,000 and return rows are integers 2–4. Keep all source columns and request rows in place. Exact matching is explicit; the header row need not be sorted.

The answer cells begin blank. Enter a reusable formula and check it against the published practice datasets. Hints and the solution are available when you choose them.

Practice stays on this device. No worksheet data is uploaded.

A checkpoint records a fresh check of every dataset. This attempt tracks built-in hints, solutions, steps and worked examples; it does not establish independent authorship.

Help recorded: none of these built-in aids opened.

A LITTLE PRACTICE

Make the formula your own.
