Default Lookup Data based on 2 search criteria

Currently Im trying to write a formula with 2 search criteria:
1. Write a month/yr (in a validation list), which searchs for
this in another 12 month table with the dates as titles.

2. After finding the correct month/yr (fx. JAN-09), then I want to look
for a word ("PG"). Then I will be able to look for the correct number in the
cell.

Also, as the month-yr is in a validation list, I want the list to update
automatically
when I chose the month-yr. The words do not have to be flexible.

April-09 January-09 May-09
PG PG1 PG PG1 Pg PG1
3 4 7 2 2 4

If tried several functions+arguments but now I am about to throw in the towel.
