Naming column in Index Function

[mlkpied]

I use the index function with INDEX(Personnel!A$1:$I$71,I78,9). When I insert
a column in the array the column I am looking for is now 10 instead of 9. The
column name in the Personnel worksheet is PreFund. Can I change the index
function column parameter so that if I insert a column it will still
reference the correct column? Thanks. Michael

One way:

=INDEX($I$1:I$71,I78)

Another:

=INDEX($A$1:$I$71, I78, COLUMN($I$1))

Depends on the range starting in column A. More robust to us

=INDEX($A$1:$I$71, I78, COLUMNS($A$1:$I$71)

to ensure referencing the rightmost column
