One way...

Assume you're table is in the range A1:E5

Lookup values:

A10 = maths
B10 = Joe

=VLOOKUP(A10,A1:E5,MATCH(B10,A1:E1,0),0)

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.
