COLUMN(reference)

• $reference$ is the cell of particular range of cells.

Description

• This function gives the position of the column number for the $reference$.
• i.e COLUMN(B12)= 2 because Column number 2 is B
• When we are not giving the $reference$, it assumes the same cell where function COLUMN is displayed.
• If the reference argument is a range of cells, and if the COLUMN function is not entered as a horizontal array formula, the COLUMN function returns the number of the leftmost column.
• $reference$ cannot indicate as a multiple sheets.

Examples

• COLUMN(F2) is 6, because F2 is in the position of 6th column.
• COLUMN() this will give the result where the function is displayed
• COLUMN(B1:F2) is 2, because it will give the result where the B1 is displayed.
