best formula for finding a cell value?

[tommyf]

Hello,

I have created a matrix which has three columns: "north", "south" and "west". The rows below the columns are sequenced by their respective row number and below each column has different values.

My questions is: If I create three cells- "Direction","Row" and "Value", how can I populate the intersecting value in "Value" by when I input in "Direction" and "Row"??

Example: Direction = north; Row = 2; Value = [would this be a DGET or IF function?]

Thanks in advance for your responses!!

Hi,
Try something like this:
A1 = direction
B1 = Row
C1 = HLOOKUP(A1,your_range,B1,0)
