    Two drop down boxes giving one answer

    I'm new, I know what I want to achieve and that is:
    Using a matrix I have two drop down boxes (Column & Row) I then want to choose one thing from each box and then give me the answer. I have thought about the LOOKUP but cannot get it to work with the dropdown boxes. Thought about the INDEX as well.

    Have you tried this?

    =INDEX($B$2:$F$11,MATCH(A14,$A$2:$A$11,0),MATCH(A15,$B$1:$F$1,0))

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    I would remove the parenthesis from column A, edit the data validation for A1 to Car 1,Car 2,Car 3,Car4,Car 5 then try these:

    B14 =INDEX(B2:F11,MATCH(A14,A2:A11,0),MATCH(A15,B1:F1,0))

    B15 =INDEX(B2:F11,MATCH(A14,A2:A11,0)+1,MATCH(A15,B1:F1,0))
