hi Khaleel,

when we use vlookup formula, it gives result from leftmost coloum of a range only. is there any way out to get result from other coloums of a range?

Hi Naveen,

I would like to know your understanding level about VBA, before i throw a bunch of programming concepts.

However, i would like to say that , Conditional formatting, is not possible by following "Record the Macro" approach, it requires programming in VBA.

If you can give me a sample case, i can send you a program for that.

Hope this helps.

Hi Yayati,

This is a inherent problem with VLOOKUP, it always references the left most coloumn, so far i have not come accross a way to workaround this.

The alternative for this is to use the index function,

syntax: INDEX(array,row_num,column_num)

I believe this will solve your issue.

Let me know if this dosent work for you.

Hope this helps.

hi Khaleel, thanks for being quick in reply,

my problem is not solved by index function. suppose i have 2 colomn, first of date and second of qty. now pls give me a formula which can give me date of max qty. (by keeping date in first colomn and qty in second only)

thanks,

yayati
