Return a value from a table using Column and row names as inpu
Hi
If you are extracting the data from a Pivot Table, use the GetPivotData
command which is analogous to using Index Match, but works specifically
on PT's.
Debra Dalgleish has some good help on how to use this at
http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot06.html

Thanks Dave!
I managed to get it working using the example table with company y and
week
x. However, when I try in my actual table, which is a pivottable, it
don't
work. I get values but not the right ones.
Would you know how to extract at value from a corresponding
pivottable?

with ()s:
=INDEX($A$1:E$6,MATCH(Name,$A:$A,0),MATCH(week,$1: $1,0))
or
=INDEX($A$1:E$6;MATCH("Company 5";A1:A6;0);MATCH("Week 45";A1:E1;0))

Thank you very much for your quick response!
I tried your suggested formula and with some minor adjustments it
almost got
it to work. Using the below formula I don't get the "Company 5,
Week 45"
value, I get the "Company 4, Week 44" instead. How can that be?
Solution?
=INDEX($A$1:E$6;MATCH("Company 5";A2:A6;0);MATCH("Week
45";B1:E1;0))

Hi
Use the MATCH function as well as INDEX.
=INDEX($A$1:E$6,MATCH(Name,$A$A,0),MATCH(week,($1: $1,0))
Substitute the word Name and Week with the cell references
holding the
Company and Week Number or insert their text as "Company2" and
"Week 44"
for example.

What cellformula, using column and row names, return a specific
value
from a
table like below? (I cant use the INDEX function since I dont
know the
column
or row numbers in the actual table, only the names)
A B C D F
1 Week 42 Week 43 Week 44 Week 45
2 Company 1 67% 71% 69% 81%
3 Company 2 45% 78% 79% 73%
4 Company 3 88% 67% 86% 74%
5 Company 4 97% 56% 77% 92%
6 Company 5 87% 55% 82% 69%
