Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this
blog.
I need a formula that will populate the hourly rate cell with the correct rate according to the job description. i.e. if I type stagehand in O8, than M8 will enter 37.71, Rigger= 39.46, Head=44.25, High=5.00. There are four variable rates. Also if the "job description" cell is blank I want the rate cell to be 0.00

This is a vlookup formula which looks up job description in the table and returns the rate.

vlookup has some limitations according to how the data is set up.

Index-match overcomes that limitation
