Hello,

Here is a scenario that I am trying to deal with in a Calc spreadsheet:

(1) Every year Bill and Nancy measure the weights and heights of four
people.

(2) The four people being measured are Fred, Joe, Alice, and Beatrice.

Right now the measurements for two years, 2008 and 2009, have been entered
into this spreadsheet:

Your data layout is far too complicated for a stupid computer.
Use a flat list like ...

Date | Name | Measurer | Weight | Height

... with thousands of rows in any order of appearance.
Software can pull any kind of information from such a raw data table.
