How to extract value of cell in excel?

I am having an excel sheet and I have imported to matlab it is nearly 350*350 matrix. Every column and row has a heading which is a char. I have to find the element which is in a particular (row, column) Example heading of row a, b, c..... Similarly the heading of column is a, b, c...... And I have to know the value of (d, f) cell.

If A is your matrix A(i,j) gives you the element at ith row and jth column.
