Hi!

Here's one way.

Assume this table is on Sheet2 in the range A1:E5:

attribute a attribute b attribute 3 attribute 4
tom 55 67 32 77
harry 45 65 34 88
george 22 77 54 32
bill 4 87 45 12

On Sheet1 you have:

A1 = attribute A
B1 = George
C1 = formula:

=VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!A2:E5,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A1:E1,0), 0)

Returns 22
