Hi,

I think the way you have started the is flawed because what will happen if 2
people have the same name. Having said that based upon your sample data try
this which assumes you table is in A1 (actually blank) to E5

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A5=F1)*(B1:E1=G1)*(B2:E5))

Where F1 = Subject
G1 = Name

HI,
I am looking for a function which returns a value by looking in to 2
dimensional table.For example
Joe Mike Sandy Andy
Maths 10 35 10 35
Science 20 65 20 65
Trignomtry 30 98 30 98
Eenglish 40 65 40 65

If I pass Joe and Maths as two inputs to fuction,it should give me 10.
I was using round about methods using IF conditions and LOOKUP functions.
Butif the number of of columns and rows are huge,its not a practical solution.

Can you please suggest me a practical solution which I cam implement for
looking in to huge tables containing like 100 rows and 100 columns.

THanks in advance.
