Try this:
=VLOOKUP(INDIRECT("B"&ROW()),name,2,0)
Or a non-volatile version:
=VLOOKUP(INDEX(B:B,ROW()),name,2,0)

I need to use a cell number in a function that will update itself for
each
new row it is in. For example, my function looks like this: VLOOKUP(B3,
name,
2, FALSE), where "B3" is the number of the cell I need to use because
I'm
in
row 3. If I were in row 4 the cell number I would use is "B4". I don't
want
to hard code all of these locations in so I'm wondering if someone
knows a
way for excel to just update that cell number for each new row I'm in?
I
tried =VLOOKUP("B"&ROW(), name, 2, FALSE) but that didn't work. I'm
using
excel 2002. Can anyone help me?
