Another option to return the intersection value within the table
is to use a normal index/match on top row/leftmost col

Illustrated in new sheet: x in your sample:

Index_match top row_left col.xls

In sheet: x,
Assume Size & Length values are selected from DVs / input in P2:Q2 down
In R2:
=IF(COUNTA(P2:Q2)<2,"",INDEX($B$3:$N$7,MATCH(P2,$A $3:$A$7,0),MATCH(Q2,$B$2:$N$2,0)))
Copy down to return results from the table

I am creating a home building estimate program in excel and want to return
the value in a certain cell by giving row and column referances. I created
lists with headers to referance the rows and col. I named the database to
referance it. Everything I try to do to referance the database returns an
error. I have tried the Index function (array style) to retreive the data. I
suspected that the row and col names have something to do with the problem so
I tried formatting their cells as text only and that didn't help.
