    Lookup values Columnwise

    I have got a data file. A sample of the data is attached for convenience. Column A contains the name of the books in varioys rows, while column B, C & D contains the qty of the respective books in the given racks.

    I want to search by book name likewise :

    Qty of Book 1 in Rack1 = 10. Similarly if I want to search for Book2 in Rack3, what should be the formula for it. I have to use a combination of INDEX & MATCH function but somewhoe not able to get it correct.

    Thanking in advance as always...

    =INDEX(B3:D7,MATCH(G4,A3:A7),MATCH(G5,B2:D2))

    Where G4 is the book
    and g5 is the rack

    Thanks a lot. I understood the concept of using Index & Match very clearly from your solution....
