=Index( Range, Row_num, [Column_num])
INDEX returns a cell value at a specific row and column .
A function such as MATCH can be used to find the row or column number.
Range |
Range of cells in which the row number and column number can be found. |
Row_Num |
The row number is relative to the range .
For example, if the range is B5:B10 then row_num 3 would be row 7 |
Column_Num |
If the Range is wider than a single column,
the column number finds the correct column for the given row. |
In the above example, the first
INDEX formula references the range
A2:A7 .
It has a row number of
4 .
The fourth row in the range
A2:A7 is row
5 of the Excel sheet, which contains the value
530 .
The second
INDEX example references the range
A2:D7 .
Since this range has
2 dimensions, we need to provide a column number in addition to a row number.
In this example the row is
5 and the column is
4 . This is the location
D6 in the range, which is the value
29,500 .
