Enter x, y coordinates and displays a number

[arthurz11]

Range B2-D4:


[1,1] [0,1] [1,1] Example:
[-1,0] [0,0] [1,0] Cell F3 → [0,1] (ENTER X,Y)
[-1,-1] [ 0,-1] [1,-1] Cell F4 → [7] (RESULTS)

Range B6-D8:
[5] [7] [6] Example:
[8] [2] [3] Cell F7 → [0] (ENTER #)
[0] [1] [7] Cell F8 → [-1,-1] (RESULTS)

Would you please be so kind as to show me how to
create a formula after entering any (x,y) coordinates
in Cell F3, it will automatically display the corresponding number in Cell F4?
Also, vice versa, where I would enter any number in
Cell F7 and automatically display the corresponding (x,y) coordinates in Cell F8?
Please note: Using MS Office 365. The (x,y) coordinates
in range B2-D4 corresponds to the numbers in range B6-D8
I just made it 3x3 matrix to make it easier
to understand what I needed to be done. Thanks!

In F4:

=INDEX(B6:D8,SUMPRODUCT((B2:D4=F3)*ROW(B2:D4))-ROW(B2:D4)+1,SUMPRODUCT((B2:D4=F3)*COLUMN(B2:D4))-COLUMN(B2:D4)+1)

In F8:

=INDEX(B2:D4,SUMPRODUCT((B6:D8=F7)*ROW(B6:D8))-ROW(B6:D8)+1,SUMPRODUCT((B6:D8=F7)*COLUMN(B6:D8))-COLUMN(B6:D8)+1)

BOTH Array-Entered, ie. use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to commit the formulae to the sheet and not just Enter.

I had to revised my data. I have to create the problem differently because I need to use two cells for x,y coordinates instead of one cell as you previously helped. The objective is to enter the x,y coordinates in cells H2 and I2 and it displays the corresponding value 7 in cell I4. This is the following DATA:

Range: A1:F3 graph:
cell A1 is -1---cell B1 is 1---cell C1 is 0---cell D1 is 1---cell E1 is 1---cell F1 is 1
cell A2 is -1---cell B2 is 0---cell C2 is 0---cell D2 is 1---cell E2 is 1---cell F2 is 0
cell A3 is -1---cell B3 is -1---cell C3 is 0---cell D3 is -1---cell E3 is 1---cell F3 is -11

Range: A5:C7
cell A5 is 1---cell B5 is 2---cell C5 is 3
cell A6 is 4---cell B6 is 5---cell C6 is 6
cell A7 is 7---cell B7 is 8---cell C7 is 9

In cell H2 I enter the -1 and in cell I2 I enter -1 (This is the x,y coordinates that I entered)

In cell I4 the formula finds the number and displays the 7
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

I want to input the x,y coordinates in two cells H2 and I2 in stead of one as previously. So on this one I have cells H2 and I2.
The formula in cell I2 automatically puts the assigned perspective value.

in cell I4, array-enter:

=MIN(IF((($A$1:$C$3=$H$2)*($D$1:$F$3=$I$2))=1,$A$5:$C$7))

It returns the smallest result if there are more than one (eg. if x and y were both 1).


edit post posting: It's probably wrong.
Try instead, still array-entered:

=MIN(IF((CHOOSE({1,2,3},$A$1:$A$3,$C$1:$C$3,$E$1:$E$3)=$H$2)*(CHOOSE({1,2,3},$B$1:$B$3,$D$1:$D$3,$F$1:$F$3)=$I$2)=1,$A$5:$C$7))

My mind feels like there's a ball bouncing back and forth inside my head. Correction on data. Sorry for the errors. Cell D1 is 0 and Cell F3 is -1.

If I enter the values for H2 and I2 these are my results:
H2,I2
-1,-1 Correct! 1
-1,0 Correct! 4
-1,-1 Correct! 7
0,1 Incorrect 3, Answer should be 2
0,0 Incorrect 6, Answer should be 5
0,-1 Incorrect 9, Answer should be 8
1,1 Incorrect 2, Answer should be 3
1,0 Incorrect 0, Answer should be 6
1,-1 Incorrect 0, Answer should be 9

I tried revising the formula but I couldn't figure it out. Would you please be so kind as to show me what can I do to the current formula so it will work?

[arthurz11]

I used your updated formula! You are utterly AWESOME!! It worked beautifully. Now, I can go to sleep. Thanks a million!!!
