Hi,

If I have a table like this but with columns all the way to AP. How can I write a formula so that I can search for a for value in column B, D, F etc down to column AO to get a return value from the column to the right

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Do you need the return value from the cell directly right from the column where you found it?
e.g, in you example: If I find 22865 in the second column, I return 30211

Hi try this:

In each row you must enter the first 2 values (cells A1 and B1) then

C2 =OFFSET(A1,,)+IF(MOD(COLUMN(C1),2)=0,143,200)

And drag down and right

2300022285630202229993040223142
3300032285730203230003040323143

<colgroup><col width="70" span="7" style="width:52pt"> </colgroup><tbody>

Try this : just enter values in column A

B1 =IF(A1=30001+ROW(A1)-1,A1-7146,OFFSET(A1,,-1)+IF(MOD(COLUMN(B1),2)=0,143,200))

Hi,

Two things:

First, @Hasse, your sample table in this thread is misleading, you should have used the same sample you used in your other thread asking the same question as I posted the link to in Post #3 . And you probably should have just "bumped" your other thread rather than starting a new one (Please excuse me for mentioning it, MODs)

Second, the helpers/responses in this thread are misunderstanding the OPs request.
@Hasse, I've replied to your original thread, please see if my solution works for you.

jtawk, I just checked out your response in the other thread.
That is a very creative use of the SUMIF function. I did not know that it worked in a way that it would just shift columns depending on the column in which the match is found. Is that even documented somewhere?
I will have to remember this one.

Thanks,
JL

To you who has looked at this and trying to help I must say thanks. I was given attention that I was expressing the question wrong so it became misleading what I wanted. Anyhow I have been helped and now my problem is solved. But some of the solution you send me was although interesting so I gonna save them if I creating tables some other times

Once again, thanks for help:)
