Excel Tutorial – COLUMN

The COLUMN function is a useful function in Excel that allows you to find the column number of a cell or range of cells.

To use the COLUMN function, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Select the cell where you want the result of the COLUMN function to appear.
2. Type “=COLUMN(” (without the quotes) into the cell.
3. Optional: Specify the cell or range of cells that you want to find the column number of. If you do not specify a cell or range, the COLUMN function will return the column number of the cell where the function is located.
4. Close the parenthesis by typing “)”.

For example, if you wanted to find the column number of cell A1, you could use the following formula: “=COLUMN(A1)”. This will return the number 1, which is the column number of cell A1.

You can also use the COLUMN function to find the column number of a range of cells. For example, if you wanted to find the column number of range A1:B2, you could use the following formula: “=COLUMN(A1:B2)”. This will return the number 1, which is the column number of the first cell in the range A1:B2.

You can also use the COLUMN function to find the column number of the cell where the function is located. For example, if you wanted to find the column number of the cell where the COLUMN function is located, you could use the following formula: “=COLUMN()”. This will return the column number of the cell where the COLUMN function is located.
