Range

{Single formula}

Objective

‘’ACTIVE

Autofill create list of ordered numbers.

Generate in vba to paste values in column.

ie. No formulas for “data tables”in first column.

Ref; Susan Harkins | Tech Republic

{ if error function } for distributable

Once data table is in place; can’t change any referencing cells. (B,C,+D in data table)

Data table are a series of =TABLE() functions

Data Table

Result

Enter data table labels

Verify first column variable matches.Input cell amount.

Input of first row from result cells.

Go to “what if and …”

In Data Tools group.Column input = input

cell .Value.$R$C

Objective

Returns Value of Table or Range

INDEX

Worksheet.Index(Arg 1, Arg 2, Arg 3, Arg 4)

ThisWorkbook.Path.

&” \___.g.b ” etc.

Arg 1 Range or Array const. ref. one or more cell ranges.

Arg 2 Row_num

Arg 3 Column_num

Arg 4 Area_num

if omitted, range of, area_num is returnedIf row or column are omitted, column or row are

returned

Purpose ie Wood Tables

‘The result of the INDEX function is a reference ex.:CELL(“width”,…) ‘

Objective

[ relative position in an array. (Value1, Value2, Value3) ]Vs. Lookup for position vs. Range item eg.

MATCH

Worksheet.Match(Arg 1, Arg 2, Arg 3)

eg. Order 1,2,3,example

Arg 1 Lookup_Value

Arg 2 Row_num

Arg 3 Match_type

Using number or text etc. or cell reference.

Lookup_array: contiguous range of cells. Containing possible lookup values.Lookup_array : array or reference.Match_type -1, 0, or 1 {matching ARG 1} how (min ≥) = (≤ max)
