If/VLOOKUP Formula With 2 Variables

[davidhrrsn]

I am attempting to write a formula that will automatically extract numbers from a table based on two variables (one from X axis and one from Y axis) from the table. Example:

Sample size (cell G4) is determined by Frequency (cell E4) and Risk Level (cell F4). Drawing from a table that has the Frequency as the X axis and Risk Level as the Y axis.

I might not have explained this very well, and am thinking that this would be a VLookup with a IF function involved, can't seem to make it work though. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Maybe like this http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/usertips/tip020.htm

It would help to supply a small sample of what you are trying to accomplish.

Look at my signature block for a way to display your data.

A guess, maybe a Index/Match?

I am attempting to have the sample size auto populate with the #'s found in the chart to the right, based upon the frequency and risk level.
