    Reference cell defined by value in another cell

    Hi!

    How do I type a formula where the reference cell is found in another cell so to speak?

    For example
    column A contains a bunch of number, lets say (a1,a2,a3)=(1,3,9)
    Column B contains letters, lets say (b1, b2, b3) = (x,y,z)
    Column X, Y and Z contains data.
    In column C I want to find data refenced by the given column in B and the row in A. that is

    C1: =x1
    C2: =y3
    C3: =z9

    any help is very much appreciated,
