Dear Most Amazing Excelers In The World,
I know how to do two-way lookup with the INDEX and MATCH functions (example, =INDEX(B2:H11,MATCH(A6,A2:A11,0),MATCH(E1,B1:H1,0)) to lookup a value in a table given a value in the row range and a value in the column range. I also know how to use the space intersector to do a two-way lookup (example, =A6:H6 E1:E11).
My question is, is it possible to do the reverse. Instead of finding the row and column positional and then returning the value at the intersection of the two, is it possible to have the value at the intersection and then find the two values in the row and column positions? So this would mean somehow returning two values in two cells.
Wished that you also opted for providing a sample...
