Default how to search a sheet using row and column headers

There may be an easy solution to this query as it seems quite simple but i'm
tying my brain in knots trying to figure it out!

I have a table in a sheet which i want to populate with data from a table in
another sheet. the table i want to populate has a range of age groups down
the column and some different types of households (eg, 1 person male, 1
person female, 2 person 2 adult, 2 person 1 parent,etc) along the row. There
is a cell above it for the year.

The table i want to use to fill this one has the age ranges in column B, the
household types in column C and the years from 2006 to 2031 along row 2.

Ideally i would like to be able to write a formaula in the cells of the
table i need to fill so that if i change the cell at the top of it with the
date then all the data in the table will change accordingly. I dont mind
putting in the complicated work just now if it will save me time in future
years.

Vlookup and Hlookup only let me search one row or column. I cant believe
there is no way of searching a table using more than one variable but i cant
figure it out! can anybody help with this?
