In below example we need Nitin marks in Mathematics subject.
So in this case we use Index and match function together.

Step 1: First you need to create below table in your Excel starting form cell A1 to G11.

Step 2: Type formula =INDEX(C2:F11,MATCH("Nitin",B2:B11,0),2) in cell B15 and press enter.

in Above formula C2:F11 is our array (Marks of all students)
"Nitin" is over lookup_value in match formula
B2:B11 is Students name cell location
0 is for Exact match
2 is Mathematics subject column number.

You can use this formula to find any student marks in any subjects.
