I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this?
example:
A1 contains B
B1 contains 2
B2 contains "tribbles"
An imaginary function might go like this...
The formula in A3 is =SecondaryReference(A1:B1) [OR] =B2
A3 returns "tribbles"
----------------------------------------------
Ultimately, this would be done with text.
example:
"Multivitamin" is the header for column B.
"VitaminC" is the header for row 2.
B2 contains "500mg"
The imaginary formula in A3 is =SecondaryReference(Multivitamin:VitaminC)
A3 returns "500mg"
---------------------
I realize I'm probably leaving out some steps, particularly in the text idea. I'm just trying to communicate the idea of what I'm trying to accomplish. Is there a formula to accomplish this? Thank you to anyone who can point me toward a solution.
