pick from table based on row and column header
One way:
=VLOOKUP("D",A1:D4,MATCH("B",A1:D1,0),0)
Or, use cells to hold the criteria:
A10 = D
B10 = B
=VLOOKUP(A10,A1:D4,MATCH(B10,A1:D1,0),0)

whats the best way to pick single values from a table based on text column
and row headers, i.e:
ABC
D 2
E
F
B:D=2
it has to be done using headers as new columns may be added
thanks
