COLUMN function is used to get the column reference number of the excel worksheet.
Function has only one argument i.e. reference, where we need to give cell reference
=COLUMN(reference)
reference argument is used to give the cell reference for which column sequence number is required
Here we have some examples, where “Column A to Column C” has a database, “Column D” shows the sample formula, “Column E” shows the output of the function and Explanation is provided in Column “F”
We will be using COLUMN function as follows:
– If “Range of cells” given in reference argument, then function output will be leftmost column sequence number
– If cell reference is not given in reference argument, then function output will be column sequence number of formula cell.
– Function gives output in “General” format, however if output is not as per the desired format then we need to change the cell format to “GENERAL”.
– If cell reference or parameters are not correctly provided in the function, then it will give output as “#NAME?”
