Hi Community,

is there a way to get INDEX to work with multi-column select dynamically.

This Works: INDEX(Table,,{3,5,9})

This Throws an Error: INDEX(TABLE,,{COL_A,COL_D,COL_C})

EDIT:
Just an FYI; this also works: INDEX(TABLE,,COL_D)

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
What are COL_A, COL_D etc?

In that case you cannot do that. The array needs to be hard values rather than variables or named ranges.
Have you got the CHOOSECOLS function yet?

In that case I think your out of luck. I cannot think of any way to do what you want using named ranges.
