Unsure on how to approach data

Hi, the attached file in excel contains some calculations that result in images changing and then as a result further data is inputted resulting in some output.
Cell U16 = Type A-E
Cell U18 = Upwind or downwind
Cells V20 - W27 contains a series of text/calculations which display Twind values for Types A-E.
Cell Z23 needs to contain the output of one value from W20-W27 based on U16 and U18
I could simply enter value Z23 by reviewing W20-W27, but thought it would be nice to automate.
I was looking at match and array, but struggling to understand how to deal with the wildcard search on cells V20-v27; if that makes sense.
Thanks in advance

Is one thought to hide the cells that don't meet the criteria set by U16 & U18 and then Z23 looks at cells W20-W27 and returns any value it sees? I am using cell Z23 to feedback to another worksheet, hence the static nature of it.

With conditional formatting hiding not used values.
Hiding means setting font and cell colour the same as the general cell colour.

Thank you once again. I was splitting out the Type etc into fields to apply an index and match function. Your way is slicker.
