I hope you're well and safe!
Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
I hope that helps!

Hey Scotty,
This is a relatively complex build, too complex to answer in a community post. But here are some pointers.
- Use a JOIN formula to join all 250 columns into one. lets call this 'helper' for the example below.
- Use a nestled IF INDEX MATCH formula combined with CONTAINS to retrieve pricing data... this is quite complicated, syntax will be something like:
IF(CONTAINS("Category A",helper@row),INDEX({price col},MATCH(helper@row,{category col},0)))+IF(CONTAINS("Category B",helper@row),INDEX({price col},MATCH(helper@row,{category col},0)))
And then add +IF(CONTAINS("Category B",helper@row),INDEX({price col},MATCH(helper@row,{category col},0))) to every further category following.
Then build any report you want with the output.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
