    help with index

    I dont understand how to use the index function. I read the help here and tried using

    =Index(Data, 7, 29),

    The problem im having is that I dont have any columns with numbers, only letters..lol

    Maybe im using the function incorrectly. All I want to do is copy data that is on one sheet to another sheet.

    You are correct in noting that columns are generally denoted with letters.

    The index function syntax does not require you to enter the column number (or letter) to calculate; instead, it asks you to indicate which column in the array you need to pull information from.

    For example, if you have this function:

    =INDEX(B5:E15,2,4)

    the function will pull information that is in cell E6 (that is the 2nd row down in the array, and the 4th column across in the array)
