    Good Online Courses for complex Excel functions

    Hi everyone,

    Please let me know if this is not a suitable place to ask this type of question. However, does anyone know any good step by step courses for more complex excel functions. I am specifically interested in Index Match functions. Thank you in advance.

    Don't know about on-line courses, but I've found these videos (and the associated web site) quite useful. Have a look at

    Try this...
    INDEX returns a value at the intersect (meeting) of a row and a column.
    INDEX() syntax is =INDEX(range,row-num,column-num)
    so something like =INDEX(A1:J10,3,5)
    will return the contents of E3 (row 3, column 5)
    Didnt even use MATCH, did we?

    Now, to find the "3" or the "5", we would use the MATCH function...
    MATCH syntax is...=match(criteria-to-find,column-to-search-in,0) 0 returns exact match
    =MATCH("cc",A1:A10,0) (note this is searching down col A)
    If "cc" is in A3, this will return 3
    (to find the column number, we use the same thing, just change the range=MATCH(criteria-to-find,row-to-search-in,0)
    =MATCH("zz",A1:J1,0) (note this is searching across row 1)
    If "zz" is in E1, then this will return 5

    Put them all together and you have...
    =INDEX(A1:J10,MATCH("cc",A1:A10,0),MATCH("zz",A1:J10))
    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
