no, I'm meaning more like, if lastname = jackson and first name = bob and
position = analyst, then return X. Of course then data would be in a table.
make sense?

Ashley,

Do you mean two values to lookup? If so, you could concatenate them,
something like

=INDEX(A1:A100,MATCH("Bill"&"Jones",B1:B100&C1:C10 0,0))

Bob- do you know a lot about index tables? Do you know if there is a way
to
retrieve data if there is more than two contants?

I must be thick! I should have spotted that. Thats for the help Bob,
that
works great now.

Yes it does, in that case, try


=INDEX(matrix!A1:E4,MATCH(H1,matrix!A1:A4,0),MATCH (H2,matrix!A1:E1,0))

as both the INDEX and both MATCH functions are using that table

30 in both, does it matter that the table is on a different sheet
named
matrix? I amended your formula to say
=INDEX(matrix!A1:E4,MATCH(H1,A1:A4,0),MATCH(H2,A1: E1,0))

I used your data in my test, and it worked fine. What values do
you
have
in
H1 and H2?

Yes, the lookup values do exist in the row/column headings.

If

Thanks Bob, that looked good. Unfortunately I am getting
the
error
#N/A ,
any
other ideas.

Assuming your table is in A1:E4, and the lookup length

H1,
and
the
lookup width is in H2, try this
