Hi all

In the Following Formula =HLOOKUP(Itininary!$L$4,'Date
Details'!$C$3:$IV4,2,0)
my understanding is if the date that is is in 'itininary'!$l$4 is to be
searched for in the table array of 'Date Details'!$C$3:$IV4, which is in row
3. What I am not getting is that I what it to do is return the value that is
in row 4, WHICH IT DOES, but what is the significance 0f the ,2, in this
formula.

IF I WANTED IT TO RETURN THE VALUE IN ROW 70 I HAVE TO MAKE THE TABLE ARRAY
AND ROW INDEX 'Date Details'!$C$3:$IV70,68,0 and it does. again what is the
significance of ,68,

every day in every way i learn

The table C3:IV4 is not just in row 3.
It is in rows 3 and 4.
And row 4 is the second (2) row of that table.

The table C3:IV7 is in row 3 to 70.
And row 70 is the 68'th row in the table.
