    Lightbulb PROC? INDEX? Identify item in a matrix

    Captura de Tela 2019-08-14 às 16.55.21.png

    I have 3 columns (A, B,C). On each columns I have a list of items. I would like to be able to search an item and as a result I will have the name of the column: A, B or C.

    How can I do that?
    Procv is not working.
    ProcH is not working.

    Could you please help?

    Re: PROC? INDEX? Identify item in a matrix

    This formula should work, array entered(Ctrl+shift+enter) =INDEX(A1:C1,MAX(IF(A2:C10=E2,COLUMN(A2:C10)-COLUMN(A1)+1)))

    E2- lookup value

    Paul's suggestion in French:

    =INDEX(A1:C1;MAX(SI(A2:C10=E2;COLONNE(A2:C10)-COLONNE(A1)+1)))

    How do you search it? The formula will work only if the value you search is in E2. Have you entered it using Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of regular Enter?

    You need to use the French version of the formula I gave you.

    Enter it with CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER

    =INDEX(A1:C1;MAX(SI(A2:C10=E2;COLONNE(A2:C10)-COLONNE(A1)+1)))

    Lightbulb Re: PROC? INDEX? Identify item in a matrix (Mac keys: CTRL+SHIFT+Enter)

    I'm using Mac (Excel), there is no way to find the key combination for CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER. Has anyone had this problem?
