Ok, one last thing for now is how i can lookup a cell and return it's actual name.

I have this for returning the value in the cell...

=VLOOKUP(F9,Customers,8)

BUT, i also want a seperate one which will return the name of the cell. Which should be I3.

I guess this is possible, anyone wanna give me a hand?

please :)
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
{=ADDRESS(MATCH(F9,INDEX(Customers,,1),0),MIN(COLUMN(Customers)-1+8),4)}

Note: This is an array formula which must be entered using the Control+Shift+Enter key combination. The outermost braces, { }, are not entered by you -- they're supplied by Excel in recognition of a properly entered array formula.

See the Excel Help topic for "About array formulas and how to enter them".

Hi

Assume your first Column in "Customers" is "H".

=ADDRESS(MATCH(F9,$H$1:$H$1000,0),COLUMN(I1))

Where "COLUMN(I1)" will represent the "column_index_num" 8 in your VLOOKUP.

Not an array formula.
