Find in a Grid
I have a grid that has numbers across the top and the same numbers down the
left side. I need to be able to lookup the numbers given by the user and show the results of the search on the page. I need to have the grid on a hidden page and the search on the first sheet. I know I could put them into columns saying something like colA colB colC 1 1 Yes 1 2 No 1 3 Yes 2 1 Yes etc... But you can see how much more work that would be since the grid is already done. Any ideas? Stanley |

Use the INDEX function:
=INDEX('Sheet2'!A1:Z100,A1,B1) This assumes your table (grid) is located on Sheet2 in cells A1:Z100. Your user inputs row number into cell A1 and column number into cell B1. Change these references to fit your needs. HTH, Elkar "Stanley" wrote: I have a grid that has numbers across the top and the same numbers down the left side.

Say you search criteria are in A1 (number across) and A2 (number down)
=INDEX(Sheet2!A2:C4,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!A2:A4,0),MATCH (A1,Sheet2:A1:C1,0)) HTH -- AP "Stanley" a écrit dans le message de news: ...
