Default How do I scan a large table/worksheet for values?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to scan an entire spreadsheet for a
value. I then need to return the corresponding values from row name and
column header, but one step at a time€¦lol.

I have a table with several rows and columns sorted ascending. Each column
can contain a value of interest. The value of interest is an arbitrary
constant (Say 12). Im looking to find the €œbest€ value of €œ12€ in the table
that with a maximum corresponding row OR column value. Exp: Say I have a
table that is 10 rows by 10 columns. In the first Row are my column headers:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J. In my First Column are my row names: 50, 55,
60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95. In the body of the table are values that can
range from 10 to 15. I want to find the Value €œ12€ from the body of the
table that has the highest corresponding row name value. Simple, no? lol.
