Default Am I thick? lookup from table

I think you want to use =index(match(),match())

Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's instructions:

especially:

I have a simple table with height measurements as the headers and a
value measurement down the left column. At the intersection of the two
figures is the body fat % from the height and value measurement (waist
less neck size). All I want to do is have two entry cells, one for
height the other for value and get it to look up the fat% from the
chart.

I tried the various look up types but they seem to want you to run a
wizard each time or know which column the answer is in. I really want
to make this simple for others to use and not display the table. So
really all that the enterer should do is enter height and value in
seperate cells and let excel find the answer. I thought this would be
easy (I regularly use vlookup for 2 column tables).

Any help is gratefully received.
