Many time user....first time poster :)

I am looking to return a column value from a single row based on two variable (one in rows and one in columns). Hopefully it makes more sense in the table!
I have 'over engineered' a solution but hoping for something more streamlined to save workbook bulk also looking for a non VBA solution.

Thanks if you can help!!

[TABLE="width: 500"]

[TD]Ref A[/TD]

So from this data I need to return the Month from the Ref in Column A and then the number from Column B to E.

So if my variable were Ref B and 3, my formula would return Jun18.
If variable Ref D and 7, this would return Jul18.

My current formula works for Ref B and 3 by doing If("Ref B"=A1,Hlookup(3,B1:E1,6),if"Ref B"=A2,Hlookup(3,B1:E1,5),ETC)).

Scratching me head on this one so would appreciate any help/ suggestions! Hopefully I am missing the obvious.


Thanks,

Thanks a million for this! It makes sense now its 'spelt' out!

One more question if you can help...... If condition 2 was the number 4 (ie number less than 5), can the formula be updated to still pull back Apr-18 (if the condition is not an exact match)?
