Looking for a formula to look up data - Not vlookup
my data table is as follows:
16-Jun-09 29-May-09 15-May-09 28-Apr-09 7-Apr-09 Slow Slow Slow Dead Dead 1000 1200 1000 1050 1100 0:16.565 0:19.553 0:16.252 0:17.707 0:18.860 0:15.627 0:19.063 0:15.701 0:16.510 0:17.428 0:15.759 0:19.002 0:15.649 0:16.605 0:17.810 0:16.158 0:18.886 0:15.218 0:16.694 0:18.684 1:04.109 1:16.504 1:02.820 1:07.516 1:12.782 56.15 56.47 57.31 55.99 54.41 I am after something that will look up data vertically so if I put in "Slow" it will then look up all the "Slow" columns. I tried using lookup but couldn't get it to work and vlookup only works for one value as far as I can tell |

Nick,
You need to match on something else as well - date, probably - for the horizontal match, and then some criteria for a vertical match. If you describe that, we could probably get the data point using INDEX(Table, MATCH(VertValue,,...), MATCH(HorizValue,,,...))

Nick,
Sometimes, it helps to post what you tried. Often, the MATCH can be cured by using False as the third parameter to force an exact match. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Nick" wrote in message ...

I got it to work. I used hlookup instead and got the desired result
