In order to more easily able to make 2 pieces of the table as below:

1. Create a spreadsheet and reference the following table:
Empty cell D4 and E4 cells, because it will be filled with a formula that contains the function IF and VLOOKUP

2. Furthermore, in cell D4 type the formula:
= VLOOKUP (C4, $ G $ 4: $ J $ 7.2)
Formula in D4 is a formula that uses the VLOOKUP function, only used as a comparison against the formula + IF VLOOKUP. Formula in cell D4 is not related to the formula in cell E4
Note:

Type the formula in cell E4
= IF (B4 = 2010, (VLOOKUP (C4, $ G $ 4: $ A $ 7,3,0)), (VLOOKUP (C4, $ G $ 4: $ A $ 7,4,0)))
