Default Is there a way to do an inverse two-way lookup?

I have reviewed information on how to retrieve a piece of data from a Lookup
table based on looking up a value in the columns and a value in the rows. I
am working on an application where I need to do the reverse of this. (i.e. I
have a value and I need to know the column and the row the value is found
in.) VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP only work for one-dimensional arrays and only if the
data is in order. I would think that this would be a common need. Has anyone
figure an easy way to do this in an Excel spreadsheet. (I'm using Excel 2002
at work.)
