Question about Match and finding data
"Zargon_osu" wrote in message
... I have a column with many data values. I would like to find the row number of the second cell in the list that exactly matches a given data value. Using the "Match" function with option match-type = "0" it is easy to find the first cell that matches. Using options "1" and "-1" doesnt work because those search for greater than or less than values. This seems like a simple easy operation, but I can't seem to find a way to do it without creating more columns of related data or performing some user intervention. I need the spreadsheet to find the column number and that number is immediately accessed by other areas of the spreadsheet. Any ideas? Exactly what you need is described here under "Arbitrary Lookups": http://www.cpearson.com/excel/lookups.htm |
