I have a dynamic range in an Excel sheet.
DATA_TABLE =OFFSET(DATA!$B$3,0,0,COUNTA(DATA!$B:$B)-1,0)
I want to get reference of the third entire column array to look up a value in it. 🙂
How can I get this?
=VLOOKUP("Some_value_here",COLUMN(DATA_TABLE -s third column here ),1,) ??????
How can I do this? 🙂
Thank you 🙂
You can use INDEX to get the nth column of a multi-column range
=INDEX(range,0,n)[0 indicates all rows]
so in your VLOOKUP that would be something like
=VLOOKUP("Some_value_here",INDEX(DATA_TABLE,0,3),1,)If you are using VLOOKUP to simply verify that the value exists you might be better of with MATCH…..
