Hi all,
I got given this formula on a forum and I was very grateful as it works perfectly, however there is one part of it that I don't understand. The formula is:
=IFERROR((INDEX($C$7:$I$29,MATCH($A34,$A$7:$A$29,0),COLUMN(A:A))*'bed size 1a'!J14*52/1000),"").
The bit I don't understand is the COLUMN(A:A), as the information it is regarding is not in column A, and when this piece of the formula is removed the formula still works exactly the same.
Thanks
It returns the number 1 (which is column A). The 1 ts then used in the calculation to work out which column you need to draw from in the INDEX range $C$7:$I$29.
Use Evaluate Formula on the Formulas ribbon to step through the formula to see how it works.

Also, if you enter that part in it's own cell, then copy down a few rows and across a few columns, you will see it increments across, but not down.
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
