Synopsis

INDEX(array[,row, col, area])

Description

INDEX gives a reference to a cell in the given array.The cell is pointed out by row and col, which count the rows and columns in the array.

  • If row and col are omitted the are assumed to be 1.
  • If the reference falls outside the range of the array, INDEX returns a #REF! error.

Examples

Let us assume that the cells A1, A2, ..., A5 contain numbers 11.4, 17.3, 21.3, 25.9, and 40.1. Then INDEX(A1:A5,4,1,1) equals 25.9
