Assuming that the cell refs under the Arg1 & 2 cols are *non-duplicating*,
here's a relatively simple play using non-array formulas to "pull" in (plot)
the values indicated in another sheet ..

For easy ref, a sample construct is available at:
http://www.savefile.com/files/299715
Plotting data from column to matrix.xls

Assume you have in sheet: X, cols A to C, data from row2 down

Data Arg1 Arg2
test 1 A 2
test 2 B 5
test 3 E 1
test 4 C 3
etc

Put in D2: =B2&C2
Copy D2 down

Then in another sheet: Y, where we're going to plot it ..

Put in A1:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),4),X!$D:$D,0 )),"",INDEX(X!$A:$A,MATCH(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),4 ),X!$D:$D,0)))

Copy A1 across as far as required, say to E1, then fill down as far as
required, say to E10 to cover the expected extent indicated in X.

Y will return the required plots of the Data col in X according to the cell
references indicated under the Arg1 & 2 cols in X.

Current set up:

All help most welcome!

Thanks Max,

The problem is that I have duplicating values, so i could have say 100
values that i want to plot in the a2 cell (with a , or something as
delimitor).

Any ideas on how to fix that?

No easy way to do this via formulas. Perhaps possible using vba. Suggest you
post this part afresh in .programming for insights from responders versed in
vba.
