Select a cell based on an other cell's value
Hi! I've got an excel-table. It looks something like this. Table1 (A1)Month (B1)SMS January 106 February 220 Mars 50 (A6)Max: =MAX(B2;B4) (A7)Min: =MIN(B2;B4) Now I want to find out what month B6 and B7 is and placing them in C6 & C7. In SQL I would have done something like SELECT `month` FROM table1 WHERE SMS = B6 How do I do this?! Many thanks, wally_91 -- wally_91 |

Put this in C6:
=INDEX(A2:A4,MATCH(B6,B2:B4,0)) and this in C7: =INDEX(A2:A4,MATCH(B7,B2:B4,0)) If you have two maximum values or two minimum values, the MATCH function will find the first. Hope this helps.
