How can I automatically update column index number in VLookup whe.
If I insert a column in the range of a VLOOKUP Command, the range adjusts,
but the column index number does not. Is there a work around for this? |
Use Column() in place of the index number.
For instance: =VLOOKUP(E1,A1:D10,3,0) Can be revised to: =VLOOKUP(E1,A1:D10,COLUMN(C1),0) Where Column(C1) represents the *third* column, *NOT* Column C For example: =VLOOKUP(V1,W1:Z10,3,0) Can be revised to: =VLOOKUP(V1,W1:Z10,COLUMN(C1),0) BUT, in this case, if you inserted a column between W and Z, column C would *still* be column C, and therefore , *still* equate to 3 ! So, you'd have to try something like this: =VLOOKUP(V1,W1:Z10,COLUMN(Y1)-22,0) -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Gene" wrote in message ...
