    Is there a combined VLOOKUP & HLOOKUP function?

    I use VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP all the time. Is there a function that combines both?

    I'd like to set up a data array and read from it using the row heading and column names. So eg read the data from the column called "Car" at the row called "Blue". I see there is an index function but unless I'm reading it wrong that seems to deal solely with column & row numbers, not names.

    use index / match for that.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    Could you to elaborate a little? Would you mind pasting an example line of code so I can see the syntax?
