    Match text in mulitple cells and display result

    I am new to the forum and hopefully I can explain myself in a way everyone can understand.

    Based on what I select in the drop down box of cells H2 and H3 (see attached sheet: TensionToGain.xls), I need cell F13 to show matching data from Cells E8:G:11.

    So every time I select a different option in the drop down box, cell F13 should show the matching values.

    I don't have an idea what formula to use. I have a look at VLOOKUP, MATCH, SEARCH, but with no avail.

    I also know that this would be a challenge for the guys on this forum, or NOT?

    Try:

    =INDEX($E$8:$G$11,MATCH(H2,$A$8:$A$11,0),MATCH(H3,$E$7:$G$7,0))

    or

    =SUMPRODUCT(($A$8:$A$11=H2)*($E$7:$G$7=H3),$E$8:$G$11)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
