Just need to know what type of formula i would use for this
 

How do i create a formula that will read a column and a row and return the
information at the intersection of those two points.

If i am looking for the intersection of C and 3 to return a value of 5.
Where C is in one Cell and 3 is in a diffrent Cell. As if the Answer to two
diffrent question yeilds a response of the intersection point.

1 2 3 4
A 7 9 5 3
B 5 4 3 6
C 9 8 5 1
D 1 1 1 1

You may want to use =index(match()).

You could look at Debra Dalgleish's site:

for some tips.

Example 2 looks like something you'd want.
