Default LookUp/Match

Thanks. Can you provide an example ?

Thanks Mike. I have done a poor job trying to explain my problem.

My data table is like this:

Date AA GOOG DELL
20071212 0.99% 3.89% 1.32%
20071213 0.48% 2.96% 0.46%
20071214 1.02% 2.25% 1.37%
20071217 0.76% 4.37% 0.80%
20071218 0.73% 5.00% 0.52%

I then want to create a new table that will look at my data table, match
date and headers in B1:D1 and return the value in the data table. For
example, if my new table looked like this.

Date AA BAC DELL
20071217 0.76% NotFound 0.80%

The formula in B2:D2 looks at the Data Table, finds match on Date and Match
On header then returns the appropriate value. If a match can't be found,
formula returns "NotFound".

Does this clarify ?

Carl,

Possibly one of my increasingly frequent elderly moments but I can't
understand your question.

I trying to find a formula for row 2 in the table below that results like
this:
Date AA BAC DELL
20071217 0.76% NotFound 0.80%


the data returned bears no resembelance to anything in row 2 but is close to
that in row 4 but seems to have an extra field BAC that is somewhat
confusing. Why not post your formula however wrong you may think it is.
