Getting column number from HLOOKUP?
I'm doing a simple HLOOKUP and would like to know what column a
matching value is in rather than the value of something else in a nearby row. For example if I have: apple orange pear in columns 1, 2, and 3 respectively, how do I do a search for "orange" and then return the column number "2" as the match? Thanks for any ideas! |

Ah...thanks! Now I have a new problem with the match. For some reason
MATCH isn't finding matching dates. I'll start a new topic Domenic wrote: Assuming that A1:C1 contains the data, try... =MATCH("orange",A1:C1,0) Hope this helps!
