returning a value from x and y coordinates

[Guest]

I have a table in my estimating template that has screw density on the x axis
and screw length on the y axis. and the price per 1000 square feet in the
field. I want to be able to input the density and length in cells by
themselves and have the price go to a 3rd cell, automatically calculating
total cost.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP don't work for both axis. Can I solve this with a
formula? Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks.

Use a MATCH to find the position of your length and density, then the INDEX
function that locates an item in a table. Example, I have the length labels
