Replying to self....

Creating named ranges for {z,y,x}, {w,v,u}, etc. and then also
{a,d,g}, {b,e,h}, etc., allows these named ranges to be used in the
equations for A1:C3. It's all very readable. The only downside is that
the values returned are only the values in that row or column so
getting the next higher or lower value is a bit more effort, but it
works.

Cheers all,
Mark
