how can we make one constant number to be act as variable
I mean to say if we have this formula in a cell:
=vlookup(A12,A35:j40,4,true) Now i wanna make this 4 to be act as variable and when i drag the cell containg above formula, copied cell have values 5,6 7 ..n so on in place of 4. It can seen as reverse of making variable as constant by use of $. e.g.$A$15. |

Try
=VLOOKUP($A12,$A35:$J40,COLUMN(D12),TRUE) Are you sure you want TRUE (approximate match) for the final argument instead of FALSE (exact match)?

Select 5 cells.
In the active cell enter this formula =VLOOKUP(A12,$A$35:$J$40,{4,5,6,7,8},TRUE) Do not hit ENTER key. Instead hit CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to enter as an array.
