Hi
this layout would make no sense :-)
Currently this is a 3-dimensional matrix (so looking for the header and the
row). You seem to want to have a 3-dimensional matrix (which is directly not
supported in Excel).

You could create a table which looks like the following:
A B C D
1 topic size style value
2 t1 10 s 1
3 t1 10 e 2
4 t1 10 g 3
.......


Now assume you have in F1 the topic, G1 the size and H1 the style to look
for then try the following array formula (entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):
=INDEX(D1:D10,MATCH(1,(A1:A10=F1)*(B1:B10=G1)*(C1: C10=H1),0))

Mr. Kabel, I "think" this will help you to understand
what I am trying to do!
If you would, go to the address:
www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html
Using the table shown, I would like to add in Column E1
the word Style. E2 would have letter s, E3 would have
letter f, and E4 would have the letter w.
Now, in C6 I would have the word Style and, in D6 would
be the word Price.
To get the correct price would require in row 7 the following:
Med, Pants, f to get correct Price.

I "think" this would require 3 variables, if I understand the
index match formula.
Does this help any or make sense?
I thank you for all your time and patience with me.
Have a good New Year!!
