excel - table, 2 values gives a third value

excel - table, 2 values gives a third value

excel - table, 2 values gives a third value

(OP)
Hello everyone,
I am trying to solve an excel table problem, and after research I find myself stuck and am hoping for some experts' help.


I have a table showing data for Pipe Loop dimensions for thermal expansion.
In the first column, I have the pipe sizes. The rows contains deflection data for each size.
In the last row, i have data for the dimensioning of the loop, say a value "a".

In the spreadsheet form, the user inserts the pipe size, say 8", the temperatures, and some other data.

Based on the input data, excel will calculate the deflection of the pipe. Say 2".

So i want excel to lookup the size of the pipe in the first column, 8", and then lookup in the row containing the 8" size, the calculated deflection, 2". The result would be in column x. Going down this column, I want excel to give me the value of "a" in the last row.

I hope i'm making myself clear. I'd be much easier if i could sketch it.

Can someone help me with a formula/function that can do this?

Thanks much!
