Hello!
I need some expertise in revising the following formula:
=IFERROR(IF($I$2>=$F4,INDEX(PMR_JAN,MATCH($D4,INDEX(PMR_JAN,0,2),0),40),""),"")
I use this formula to look on another worksheet within data I've labeled "PMR_JAN". It looks in column 2, and returns the value in column 40. I use this rather than a vlookup because it would be inconvenient for me to have the data starting in the first column for other reporting purposes. It works perfectly for my needs.
What I'd LIKE to do is rather than use a column number, I'd like to give the column a name. For instance, I want to call the data in column 2 "Client" and the data in column 40 "Total".
So I can use these named ranges, rather than a number to identify the column to return. In the future, there may be a need to insert columns in the data table, and I'd like to avoid editing all the formulas like this, and by naming the column, it will always know where to look.
Is this even possible?
Thanks!
Chuck
