I am creating a worksheet and I need help with a formula. I have a chart 5
rows by 6 colums on page 1. On page 2, I have two colums that I will fill in
with which row and colum to use. How do I execute which row/collum to look in?
example:
a2 states the colum and a3 states which row. a4 would give the reference
value of both a2+a3. Thanks

Assuming that when you say it is referring to the column you mean a
value of "A"...

=INDIRECT(A2 & A3)

enter in A4
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$3:$F$7,A3,FALSE)
you can extend the formula to the right.
A2 is a number in the first column of your table
the first column needs to be sorted (ascending values)
you may want to add a help column as the first i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6.
the value in A3 is the column number from the left including the first.

Thank ya'll for the help. I made it work with =Index. I will try the Vlookup
on another part of my workbook. Thanks again
