I'm certain it must be possible but I can't find the way to do this.
I have 2 columns, one with numbers and a second column with dates.
for example:
number date
1 21-Jul
2 22-Jul
3 23-Jul
4 24-Jul
5 25-Jul
6 26-Jul
7 27-Jul
8 28-Jul
9 29-Jul
10 30-Jul
At the top I have 2 cells one where I want to enter the relevant number and one where the connected date should be displayed.
Say the cell with 1 is cell B10 and the first date is C10 If I enter 1 in the cell above the other cell shoould display the date from C10 If I enter 7 in one cell the other should display the date from C16.
How do I use the number entered in one cell to point at another cell? I tried things like
A1 - cell with the number
B1 - =C(9+A1)
but it isn't that simple.
It's frustrating how something that seems so simple is impossible for me to figure out. I look forward to your replies.
I think you need the function VLOOKUP. Specifically, in cell B1 enter:
=VLOOKUP(A1,$b$10:$C$20,2,false)
