That second xyz should really have been something else, as you likely
wouldn't use the same variable in both places.

One way is with
INDEX(WholeDataRange,MATCH(xyz,Column_Data,0),MATC H(xyz,Row_Data,0))

AFAIK, Excel has no function allowing simultaneous search for 1 value
along leftmost column of a table range and then also search
horizontally across table top row.

1 way to do this is to embed a LOOKUP to figure out how many columns or
rows to index over (in case of VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP respectively).

Anything else?
