I am building a spreadsheet query tool, the data is exported via flat
file and I convert it to .xls. There are mulitple files in the work
book and I need to be able to query the data from multiple
spreadsheets. Would index / match be the best functions? Is there
some good examples of how to set them up? I am fine with lookup
functions but this is too complex for that and I am not familiar with
the index and match functions.

Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes on =vlookup() and =index(match()) here:
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup())
and
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html (for =index(match()))
