In Google Sheets I need to reference a cell by (column, row) in a way where I can replace "row" with a formula to find a specific row. In other words I can't use a reference like "A7" because my row is determined by a formula.
Here is the formula that gives me my row number:
=ArrayFormula(MAX(FILTER(ROW(B:B);NOT(ISBLANK(B:B)))))
To create an Excel dynamic reference to any of the above named ranges, just enter its name in some cell, say G1, and refer to that cell from an Indirect formula =INDIRECT(G1) .
Now there are three kinds of cell references that you can use in Excel: Relative Cell References. Absolute Cell References. Mixed Cell References.
You can use indirect()
to dynamically reference cells
Use: indirect("string that evaluates to a reference")
example: =Indirect("A"&B2)
copies the value of the cell with the row in B2 in column A
In your case, it would be (replace [column]
with the desired column):
indirect("[column]"&ArrayFormula(MAX(FILTER(ROW(B:B);NOT(ISBLANK(B:B))))))
