Q1 of 3 INDEX(B2:39,2) is used to fetch the value at specific row in the specified array. Which cell value does this function actually return?
OPTIONS
1) B2 as this is the 2nd row of the sheet
2)B3 as this is the 2nd row within the array
3) B8 as this is 2nd row from the rear within the array
3)Error as column no. is not specified in the function
Answers
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO USE THE INDEX FUNCTION:
If you want to return the value of a specified cell or array of cells, see Array form.
If you want to return a reference to specified cells, see Reference form.
Array form
Description
Returns the value of an element in a table or an array, selected by the row and column number indexes.
- Use the array form if the first argument to INDEX is an array constant.
- Syntax
- INDEX(array, row_num, [column_num])
The array form of the INDEX function has the following arguments:
- Array Required. A range of cells or an array constant.
- If array contains only one row or column, the corresponding row_num or column_num argument is optional.
- If array has more than one row and more than one column, and only row_num or column_num is used, INDEX returns an array of the entire row or column in array.
- Row_num Required, unless column_num is present. Selects the row in array from which to return a value. If row_num is omitted, column_num is required.
- Column_num Optional. Selects the column in array from which to return a value. If column_num is omitted, row_num is required.
Remarks
- If both the row_num and column_num arguments are used, INDEX returns the value in the cell at the intersection of row_num and column_num.
- Row_num and column_num must point to a cell within array; otherwise, INDEX returns a #REF! error.
- If you set row_num or column_num to 0 (zero), INDEX returns the array of values for the entire column or row, respectively. To use values returned as an array, enter the INDEX function as an array formula.
Note: If you have a current version of Microsoft 365, then you can input the formula in the top-left-cell of the output range, then press ENTER to confirm the formula as a dynamic array formula. Otherwise, the formula must be entered as a legacy array formula by first selecting the output range, input the formula in the top-left-cell of the output range, then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm it. Excel inserts curly brackets at the beginning and end of the formula for you. For more information on array formulas, see Guidelines and examples of array formulas.
