Lookup

    This seems like a simple vlookup but it's not. I need a way to take information from a separate workbook where it needs to find the intersection of the column and row.


    So I need to lookup from the current workbook cell A3=1-21-2003 and cell C3=Tray2 so the result will return "1" from the separate workbook.
    Here is an example of the pivot table that I need to lookup to find the intersection



    A B C D
    Date: Tray1 Tray2 Tray3
    1-21-2003 1 1 1
    1-22-2003 2 1 2
    1-23-2003 3 2 3


    HELP me please!


    Thanks,

    If you add a row under your date: Tray column and put in the column numbers eg.
    Tray1 Tray2 Tray3
    2 3 4


    You could get away with the following formula:-
    =VLOOKUP(A3,Sheet2!$A$1:$D$5,HLOOKUP(C3,Sheet2!$B$1:$D$2,2,FALSE))
