Lookup in Excel

[Guest]

Hello. Can anyone advise me how I might execute a lookup with 2 variables? Specifically, I want the value (contents) of a cell that is at the intersection of a number in a column, and and a number in a row. The column consists of ages 67 - 90, and the row is the same. The row/column numbers whose intersection I want will vary. For instance, I might want the value in the cell of (column) age 71 and (row) age 82, or (column) age 76 and (row) age 72, etc.

Thank you very much.

Hi Jim

1) I have the numbers from 1 to 21 in cells A3:A23 and the same numbers in
cells B2:V2.
2) Cells B3 to V23 contain various numbers.
3) Cell B1 contains the number 21 and cell C1 contains the number 11.
4 You want the value of the intersection where the value in the range A3:A23
equals 21 (cell B1) and the value in the range B3 to V23 equals 11 (cell
B1).

Try this formula:-
=INDEX(A2:V23, MATCH(B1,A2:A23,0), MATCH(C1,A2:V2,0))

Say you have your column names on row 1:1 and your row
names on column A:A (name is ages from 67 to 90)

You have your searched column on A30 and your searched Row
on B30, on C30 type:

=OFFSET(A1,MATCH(B30,A:A,0)-1,MATCH(A30,1:1,0)-1)

You can change the searched column or row and the result
will change to the intersection of that row/column

Hope this helps!

Cheers
Juan

Point 4 should have read....

4 You want the value of the intersection where the value in the range A3:A23
equals 21 (cell B1) and the value in the range B2 to V2 equals 11 (cell
C1).

Sorry!
