Finding intersection value in a table

Hello all - hope I can find some direction - I have 'sounding tables' from our ship - these are the tables that turn feet and inches of measured liquid into a gallon value.  I have the tables and I would like to use drop down menus for the feet and inches and once the values are input, have the corresponding gallon value show.

    You can use INDEX/MATCH for this. Suppose your data are:

     

     

     

    Something like this should work as shown in cell K16:

     

    =INDEX($C$3:$N$14,MATCH($I$16,$B$3:$B$14,0),MATCH($J$16,$C$2:$N$2,0))
