<h1>INDEX Function</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <b>INDEX</b> function is one of the lookup and reference functions. It is used to return a value within a range of cells on the base of a specified row and column number. The <b>INDEX</b> function has two forms. <!--The array form is used to return a value within a single range of cells. The reference form is used to return a value within an array that contains several ranges of cells.--></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <b>INDEX</b> function syntax in the array form is:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>INDEX(array, [row-number][, [column-number]])</em></b></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <b>INDEX</b> function syntax in the reference form is:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>INDEX(reference, [row-number][, [column-number][, [area-number]]])</em></b></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><em>where</em></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>array</b></em> is a range of cells.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>reference</b></em> is a reference to a range of cells<!--or several ranges enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas-->.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>row-number</b></em> is a row number you wish to return a value from. If it is omitted, <em><b>column-number</b></em> is required.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>column-number</b></em> is a column number you wish to return a value from. If it is omitted, <em><b>row-number</b></em> is required.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>area-number</b></em> is an area to use in case the array contains several ranges. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume <b><em>area-number</em></b> to be 1.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>These arguments can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>To apply the <b>INDEX</b> function,</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|

|
|||

|
