vlookup with variable col_index_num
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ran ge_lookup) Since my table is subject to constant change, I would like to know how to create a variable col_index_num which will look up the right column itself, eg look for the column heading which contains the word "list" & return its col_index_num. Thanks for your help.
