Excel Misc >> Retrieving data from a table
I have data in a table and would like to retrieve it from a column figure
derived from one cell and a row figure from a second cell. Basically, enter
the table with a column request from one cell and a row request from another
cell and display the intersecting value in the table in a third cell. Hope
this makes sense.

This is a 2-D lookup. See:

Gary has provided a way if the values (row/column requests) are 'random'
values, but if they are actual row and column number references then you can
either use INDEX or OFFSET.
Assume your array of data to look into is in B3:F12
your row # is in F16, your column number in G16
=INDEX(B3:F12,F16,G16)
or
=OFFSET(B3,F12-1,G16-1)
both will return the same value from the data array.
