Hi David,

I'm using Excel 2010 Home and Student edition.

I've created a column, B, of questions which need to be answered on a
scale from 0-5. Columns C-H are to be checked with an "X" or whatever
character they see fit to indicate which answer they have chosen.

For example, one of the questions in column B says, On a scale of 0-6,
how painful is it for you to climb one flight of stairs?" The choices
are, 0, column C, "not difficult," 1, column D, "minimally difficult,"
etc. all the way up to 5, column H "unable to do." The end result is
that column I figures out which column the "X" was placed and enters the
numerical result.

try:
=MATCH("x",$C21:$H21,0)
