    Lookup mulitple values and return one

    I have two cells that have values that correspond to information in a sperate
    table. I want to be able to lookup data in the table based on the two cells
    that contain information. Where do I start?

    For instance, here is a simplified example.
    Cell A1 = Jim
    Cell A2 = Lunch

    Cell M1 = Jim
    Cell M2 = Mary
    Cell M3 = Mike
    Cell M4 = Breakfast
    Cell M5 = Lunch
    Cell M6 = Dinner

    Cell N4 = 8:00
    Cell N5 = 12:00
    Cell N6 = 5:00

    I want to be able to lookup the value for Jim and Lunch in the table that is
    in column M:N and return the value that matches Jim and Lunch which is 12:00.
    If it were Mike and Breakfast it would be 8:00.

    Again this is a simplified example.

    I'm sorry, but I do not understand your data structure.........I would
    recommend using four columns, A,B,C,and D, and putting headings of Name,
    Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner in row 1 across them.....then entering data in
    one row for each person below....
