2-Dim Lookup

Hi,

I've been using VLookup and it works well. But now I'd like Excel to choose
the cell that matches both the vertical and horizontal indexes. IE I'd like
it to choose the formula or value that is, say, below the value 3 (HLookup)
AND to the right of value 51 (as VLookup).

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff
 
Frank,

I gave it an honest effort, but couldn't get it to work.

My table is located in D5:I10. (Though, D5 itself is blank, of course.) I
want the value in column D (D6:D10) to match cell C2, and the value in row 5
(E5:I5) to match cell D2. Formula would return the intersecting cell value,
for example, H9.

If you could give me the precise formula to type in I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jeff
 
Thanks, Domenic! It works great.

I had D5 instead of E6.

Hey, what if the numbers aren't an exact match. How do I have it choose the
number above, below, closest, etc?

To find the closest match, you would have to change the "Match Type"
(3rd argument) in your MATCH function from 0 to either 1 for the
largest value that's less than or equal to the lookup value (the lookup
array must be arranged in ascending order) or -1 for the smallest value
that's greater than or equal to the lookup value (the lookup array must
be arranged in descending order).
