Double Entry table

[Mnilo]

Hi all:

I would like to know how to look for in a double entry table in Excel (a
table with row and colums of data).

For example in columns I have names of cities and in rows I have names of
companies, I would like (for example) a formula to introduce as imput Boston
and Microsoft and the formula will show the crossing of both variables (for
instance the number of employees of Microsoft in Boston).

Thank in advance.

Say cities are in A2:A100, companies in B1:AA1, # of employees in B2:AA100
Say A102 holds Boston and A103 holds Microsoft

=INDEX(B2:AA100,MATCH(A102,A2:A100,0),MATCH(A103,B1:AA1,0))

Use index:

=INDEX(G2:H3,MATCH(A1,$F$2:$F$3,0),MATCH(A2,$G$1:$H$1,0))


F G H
1 Boston New York
2 IBM 1000 2000
3 Microsoft 1500 2500


2000 ==> matching IBM (in A1) with NewYork (in A2)

HTH
