Hello,

I am working on an Excel course from OzGrid.

One of the problem/examples defines the MATCH function Array as 1:1. In my
ignorance I expected something like A1:G50.

I can't find in Help an explanation of what "1:1" defines. I will
appreciate some guidance.

Thanks

Bob

The 1:1 in the array indicates ALL of Row_1.

Does that help?

Hello Ron,

Thank you. With this bit of information the lesson makes sense.

Are there things like "1:2" or "2:2" or "2:1" that I should be alert to?

Thanks again,

Bob

Yes....

In a blank cell, type =SUM(

Experiment with this:
Select one or more entire column(s) or row(s) and see how the formula
changes to reflect the selections.

Example: If you selected columns E through G, the formula will display:
=SUM(E:G


Does that help?

1:2 is simply two rows, 1 and 2, 2:2 is row 2. It is unlikely that you will
see 2:1 as Excel will change it to 1:2. I do recall an instance where Excel
didn't convert it, I cannot remember where now, but it still treated it the
same.
