WHAT ARE INDEX AND MATCH
FUNCTIONS IN EXCEL
INDEX and MATCH are two distinct excel functions yet combining them together
in a single formula can give the user a powerful information lookup tool.
Index function simply returns the value of a specific cell in an array of data. The
position of the cell in the array is to be defined by the user, by indicating its
relative row and column coordinates.
