How can I use index formular only on certain cells?
At the moment I have the following formular =INDEX(F4:R4,MATCH(MAX(F6:R6),F6:R6,0)) The issue I am having is I only want some of the cells included, so for example. F4, H4, J4, L4, N4, P4...
- Oct 08, 2023if the values in F6:R6 are unique then:
=INDEX(F4:R4,MATCH(MAX(F6, H6, J6, L6, N6, P6, R6, T6),F6:R6,0))
since all those cells are even columns and assuming the values in F6:R6 are positive values then you could also use:
=INDEX(F4:R4,MATCH(MAX(F6:R6)*ISEVEN(F6:R6),F6:R6,0))
If you have excel 365 then you can use LET and FILTER and XLOOKUP
