Your explanation is slightly confusing - e.g. you say you have
the list of items in A1:Z1, but also results of questions in
A1:Z100, so there seems to be an overlap there.
Anyway, I'd use a combination of MATCH and INDEX:
=MATCH("Cats",A1:Z1,0) tells you which column contains
Cats
so
=INDEX(A1:Z100, 53, MATCH("Cats",A1:Z1,0)) gives you the
value from row 53 in the column with Cats at the top.
You might need to adjust some of the numbers to deal with the
problems I mentioned above, but something like this should do
what wou want.

Hi there,
in Cells a1:z1 i have a list of items, say dogs, cats, mice etc.. (all
unique)
Cells a2:a100 question numbers (questions 1 to 100)
Body of the table (ie a1:z100) contains the results for the questions
I want to be able to extract a result.
For example what was answer for question 53 for Cats
Sumproduct would work if it had to sum, but I dont need to.
Is it a combination of h and v lookups?
Appreciate assistance!!
