Default vlookup and hlookup

I have a table which is static that contains figures from all months of the
year for individual items.
J F M A M J.....
Item 1 10 20 15 10 5 7
Item 2 7 58 45 25 4 24

If on another table (which is dyanmic - the months will change each quarter)
Month 1 Month 2 Month 3
Item 1 ________ ________ ________
Item 2 ________ ________ ________

I want the underlined cells to reference the same item from the other table
for whichever month is displayed in the 'month1" cell. I assume that i
need to use both the vlookup and hlookup functions because i want it to look
up the "item" through vlookup and the month with hlookup, but i am not
familiar with how the hlookup works or how to combine the two into the same
formula.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
