Matching Date Values and exporting data to identified row/column

I am new to Excel programming and formulas and im not sure how to best approach this, I have a large spreadsheet (500+ Row) that contains data as shown below. I am looking for a way to automate or formalise the following actions:

Take the date value in the date column, and match it to the corresponding Column value, eg, 1/10/2013 matches Column OCT-13. Once determined, I want the price value put into that cell of the corresponding row. I hope the example below clarifies this because I dont know how to explain it . Thanks for any assistance given.

Good afternoon,

If what I understand is correct then this should work. Otherwise I may need some additional guidance . Hope this helps.

Best of luck,

Hello
Heres another possibility:

=IF(AND(MONTH(C$1)=MONTH($B2), YEAR(C$1)=YEAR($B2)), $A2, "")

Placed in C2 and copied down and across the table.

You can use a VLOOKUP function, this function search the value that you selected in a database and returns information of the column that you chooser of this database. In myexceltutorial dot com you can learn more about this function. Subscribe and look in the Wiki

Hi

Assuming that the data is in A1:F5 and the dates in the top row are also the 1st of each month, you could use the IF function!
In C2, copy across and down: =IF($B2=C$1,$A2,"")

@bgoree09: Thanks for that, was very helpful, I actually got your one working accross my spreadsheet Thursday night, sorry for the late response, thanks a million was really appreciated.

Thanks everyone else for the suggestions. Theyre all helpful with regard to actually learning how excel formula work.

Very good. You're very welcome. Hercules' formula does the same thing, but his is a bit more concise. Not really sure why I threw a dash in the concatenate, but it doesn't hurt anything. Credit where credit is due :smile:.
