Creating a 2-D Lookup Table

By combining INDEX and MATCH functions as shown below, we can create a lookup table whose data can be accessed by specifying the desired row and column values.

This is probably best applied where the lookup table is of fixed size - for example - calculation of sales commisions.

For tables that change on a regular basis - thus requiring constant updates of the lookup formulae, the Base application might be a better solution. Now if only I had more time to play around with that...
