    Drop down box to read data from a table?

    Hi,

    I believe it is possible, but i cannot work out how to do it!

    What im wanting to achieve is to have two drop down boxes reading from a table. Ie one dropdown box will read the x axis and the other will read the y axis and result the data from the table been shown in a seperate cell. Its hard to explain but pretty simple if you look at the example sheet i have uploaded.

    I would very much appreciate anyones help!!

    Try:

    =INDEX(B13:F17,MATCH(B3,TILT,0),MATCH(B4,ORIENTATION,0))
