Default Vlookup backwards

Hi all,

I'm trying to lookup data in row B and output data in row A. Anyone know a way to do this cos VLookup only lets me output data in from of row B.

Cheers

Use a combination of the INDEX & MATCH functions. Its tricky at first
but worth learning.

Or you can just cheat and output the data in some hidden column and
link to that data.

You may want to read Debra Dalgleish's notes:
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup())
and
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html (for =index(match()))
