Excel - Using Intersecting Names for lookup

I have a table like below:

A     B     C    D
X   1     2     3     5
Y   6     7     8     9
Z   10   11   12   13

with names defined by top row and left column. If I input in a cell the
formula "=X B", it will give the intersecting cell's value - 2.

If now in two cells I separately put X and B (say D1, D2 respectively), is
it possible to write a formual that get the cells' content and interpret it
as intersecting names - i.e. give 2? I tried "=D1 D2" and it gives a #NULL!
error.

Thanks in advance!

Win7 VirtualStore Weirdness with Excel 2002 and earlier Excel I thought I'd share a weird experience I had today in case it saves installer for it - - which registers it as an add-in for all installed versions of Excel - - and tested it. Fine in Windows 2000 in all installed versions of Excel. Boot to Windows XP, fine there too. Boot to Windows 7. Fine in Excel 2010, 2007, and 2003. But Excel 2002 and 2000 were still loading the old version of the add-in. I uninstalled the add-in, made sure it was gone, and reinstalled it. Same problem in Excel 2002 and earlier; still works fine in Excel 2003 and later. I opened the VB editor in Excel 2003 and in Excel 2002

32 bit DLL with 64 bit Excel 2010 Excel We have an app which creates large Excel workbooks. For example, one workbook has 1, 000 worksheets. In other cases there are fewer worksheets but the Excel file can be 80 MB or larger. Since this sometimes crashes Excel 2007 and 2003, I am considering using 64 bit Excel 2010. Would 64-bit Excel be more reliable with workbooks this size than 32-bit Excel? Is 32-bit Excel 2010 any more (or less) reliable with large workbooks than Excel

Excel and the Math Coprocessor for DLLs Excel I have a large Win32 DLL (10 MB) that is called from my user interface (written in C++) or from VBA in MS Excel. In my user interface, the DLL runs in its own space and calculates correctly. Under Excel VBA, my DLL is having problems with double precision accuracy. The following test passes in bottom CHPTST = (DIVTWO * bottom) - top In my user interface, the chptst result is zero. Under Excel VBA, the chptst result is 0.2851266E-09. I have tried resetting the math coprocessor _status87 (); if (old87Status ! = 0) new87result = _control87 (new87ControlWord, new87ControlMask); I have verified this behavior in both Excel 2003 and 2010. Does anyone have any ideas here ?
