I have a spreadsheet:

Beans       B-kg        Chips       C-kg
1.4oz/12    0.47544     6.5oz/20    3.679
1.48oz/12   0.502608    7oz/12      2.3772
1.86oz/12   0.631656    8oz/20      4.528

and a second sheet:

Category Name       Case Kg
Beans   1.4oz/12    ?
Beans   1.48oz/12   ?
Chips   6.5oz/20    ?

I am trying to match the type of product with the correct weight. So I need a formula that will choose the correct column based on the Category and then choose the correct row based on the name and output the result next to it.
