    fill cell data after criteria from two lists are accounted for- from table

    Hello all,
    Long time user but not a member.

    I have a table of data, 5 columns, 19 rows.
    In a separate set of cells, I have two drop down lists selecting from top row of table and from first column of table. In the third cell I want to fill the data from the table based on what is selected in the two drop lists from the table.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
    G

    use index/match to find that data.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Try this...

    Data table in the range A1:F20

    B1:F1 = column headers
    A2:A20 = row headers

    H1 = drop down for the column headers
    I1 = drop down for the row headers

    Enter this formula J1:

    =VLOOKUP(I1,A1:F20,MATCH(H1,A1:F1,0),0)

    Working great- thanks all. Ended up using the Vlookup probably cause you gave me the formula.
    cheers
