Default Lookup Problem with Index and Match

Hi,
I am trying to get the following working using the lookup function. it works
fine as it is shown however I have tried entering the lookup function
referencing it from cell 'A5' but cant get it to work. Can anyone help by
showing me the correct method.

Thanks

Mike
=INDEX('12'!$B$2:$R$47,MATCH($D$1,'12'!$A$2:$A$47, 0),MATCH(1,IF('12'!$B$2:$R$2=$D$6,IF('12'!$B$4:$R$ 4=$A$3,1)),0))

Default Lookup Problem with Index and Match

Where would the A5 fit in Mike, the sheet name or one of the values being
compared?

Mike i believe you need to use this in A5
=*VLOOKUP*($B$1,*INDIRECT*($A$1),2,FALSE) assuming your =INDEX.....etc
is in A1.
