Match + Reference


Posted by Michael on November 09, 2001 1:58 PM

I'm trying to use the cell value returned by the match function to refer to that cell. HOW?!

i.e. =match(a1,b1:b3000) returns 500... how do i use 500 as the cell reference to the c column?

You can use

=ADDRESS(MATCH(A1,B1:B3000),3)

=INDIRECT("C"&MATCH(A1,B1:B3000))

=ADDRESS(MATCH(A1,B1:B3000),3)

where 3 refers to column C.

Is this what you want?

I agree... ( Thinking "C" & MATCH(A1,B1:B3000) )
