INDEX
Returns a value from a table, given a row and column number.
Syntax:
INDEX(datatable; row; column; areanumber)
- returns the value at position row, column in the range or array datatable.
- If datatable has multiple ranges then areanumber specifies which is to be used. areanumber is optional and defaults to 1.
- If datatable has a single column, this syntax may be used:
INDEX(datatable; row)
Example:
If cells B1, B2, B3 contain 5, red and 6 and cells C1, C2, C3 contain TRUE, 3 and blue:-
INDEX(B1:C3; 1; 1)
- returns 5.
INDEX(B1:C3; 3; 2)
- returns blue.
INDEX(B1:B3; 2)
- returns red.
INDEX(B1:C2 1; 2)
- returns TRUE.
Template:Documentation/SeeAlso
Issues:
- Calc cannot yet handle empty parameters, so for example INDEX(multirange; 3; ; 2) will fail.
- If datatable has a single row, the ODFF standard implies that the syntax INDEX(datatable; column) may be used. This is to be implemented in Calc (issue 78781)
