Have a look at VLOOKUP and the combined use of INDEX and MATCH.

You could also post some sample data, along with expected results.

Suppose A1:C4 contains...

{"","X","Y"
;"Red",3,5
;"Green",4,1
;"Yellow",2,8}

The formula, =Red X, returns 3 and the formula,
=Yellow Y, returns 8.

For this to work the checkbox in Tools - Options, Calculate, "Accept headings in formulas" must be checked.
