    Inverse of Address Function

    Anyone know of an easy way to separate the Row and Column values of a selected cell.

    In other words, I have cell D4 and I'd like to be able to find a cell in column D of (whatever row value I choose) and a cell in row 4 of (whatever column value I choose).

    Essentially, I'm wanting to do the opposite of the address function.

    Thanks.

    Re: Inverse of Address Function

    This kind of thing is often done in a lookup table.

    Take a look at this sample file, the Distances sheet has a two-dimensional lookup table. At the top you select a city in each of the city cells, and the intersection (row and column) is found. This can be accomplished with an INDEX/MATCH(row)/MATCH(col) or with a VLOOKUP().
