Of all the hundreds of formulas & thousands of features in Excel, INDEX() would rank somewhere in the top 5 for me. It is a versatile, powerful, simple & smart formula. Although it looks plain, it can make huge changes to the way you analyze data, calculate numbers and present them. It is so important that, whenever I teach (live or online), I usually dedicate 25% of teaching time to INDEX().
Today lets get cozy. Lets start a fling (a very long one). Lets do something that will make you smart, happy and relaxed.
Understanding INDEX formula
In simple terms, INDEX formula gives us value or the reference to a value from within a table or range.
While this may sound trivial, once you realize what INDEX can do, you would be madly in love with it.
Few sample uses of INDEX
1. Lets say you are the star fleet commander of planet zorg. And you are looking at a list of your fleet in Excel (even in other planets they use Excel to manage data). And you want to get the name of 8th item in the list.
INDEX to rescue. Write =INDEX(list, 8)
2. Now, you want to know the captain of this 8th ship, which is in 3rd column. You guessed right, again we can use INDEX,
=INDEX(list, 8,3)
Syntax of INDEX formula
INDEX has 2 syntaxes.
1. INDEX(range or table, row number, column number)
This will give you the value or reference from given range at given row & column numbers.
2. INDEX(range, row number, column number, area number)
This will give you the value or reference from specified area at given row & column numbers.
It may be difficult to understand how these work from the syntax definition. Read on and everything will be clear.
7 reasons why INDEX is an awesome companion
Whether you are in planet zorg managing dozens of star fleet or you are in planet earth managing a list of vendors, chances are you are wrestling everyday with data, pleasing a handful of managers (and clients), delivering like a rock star all while having fun. That is why you should partner with INDEX. It can make you look smart, resourceful and fast, without compromising your existing relationship with another human being.
Data used in these examples
For all these examples (except #6), we will use below data. It is in the table named sf.
Reason 1: Get nth item from a list
You already saw this in action. INDEX formula is great for getting nth item from a list of values. You simply write =INDEX(list, n)
Reason 2: Get the value at intersection of given row & column
Again, you saw this example. INDEX formula can take a table (or range) and give you the value at nth row, mth column. Like this =INDEX(table, n, m)
Reason 3: Get entire row or column from a table
For some reason you want to have the entire or column from a table. A good example is you are analyzing star fleet ages and you want to calculate average age of all ships.
You can write =AVERAGE(age column)
or you can also use INDEX to generate the age column for you. Assuming the fleet table is named sf and age is in column 7
write =AVERAGE(INDEX(sf, ,7))
Notice empty value for ROW number. When you pass empty or 0 value to either row or column, INDEX will return entire row or column.
Likewise, if you want an entire row, you can pass either empty or 0 value for column parameter.
Reason 4: Use it to lookup left
By now you know that VLOOKUP() cannot fetch values from columns to left. It does not matter if the person looking up is the star fleet commander.
But INDEX along with MATCH can fix this problem.
Lets say you want to know which ship has maximum capacity.
- First you find what is the maximum capacity =MAX(sf[Capacity (000s tons)])
- Then you find position of of this capacity in all values =MATCH(max_capacity, sf[Capacity (000s tons)],0)
- Now, extract the corresponding ship name =INDEX(sf[Ship Name], max_capacity_position)
Or in one line, the formula becomes
=INDEX(sf[Ship Name], MATCH( MAX(sf[Capacity (000s tons)]), sf[Capacity (000s tons)], 0))
For more tips read using INDEX + MATCH combination
Reason 5: Create dynamic ranges
So far, your reaction to INDEX’s prowess might be ‘meh!’. And that is understandable. You are of course star fleet commander and it is difficult to please you. But don’t break-up with INDEX yet.
You see, the true power of INDEX lies in its nature. While you may think INDEX is returning a value, the reality is, INDEX returns a reference to the cell containing value.
So this means, a formula like =INDEX(list, 8) looks like it is giving 8th value in list.
But it is really giving a reference to 8th cell.
Since the result of INDEX is a reference, we can use INDEX in any place where we need to have a reference.
Sounds confusing?
For example, to sum up a list of values in range A1:A10, we write =SUM(A1:A10)
Now, in that formula, both A1 and A10 are references.
Since INDEX gives a reference, we can replace either (or both) A1 & A10 with INDEX formula and it still works.
so =SUM(A1 : INDEX(A1:A50,10))
will give the same result as =SUM(A1:A10)
Although the INDEX route appears overly complicated, it has other applications.
Example 1: SUM of staff in first x ships
Lets say you want to sum up staff in first ‘x’ ships in the sf table.
Since ‘x’ changes from time to time, you want a dynamic range that starts from first ship and goes up to xth ship.
Assuming ‘x’ value is in cell M1 and first ship’s staff is in cell G3,
=SUM(G3:INDEX(sf[Staff count], M1))
will give the desired result.
Example 2: A named range that refers to all ship names in column A
Many times you do not know how much data you have. Even star fleet commanders are left in dark. Lets say you are building a new ship tracking spreadsheet. Since your fleet is ever growing, you do not want to constantly update all formulas to refer to correct ranges.
For example, the ship names are in column A, from A1 to An. And you want to create a named range that points to all ships so that you can use this name elsewhere.
If you define the lstShips =A1:A10, then after you add 11th ship, you must edit this name. And you hate repetitive work.
One solution is to use OFFSET formula to define the dynamic range,
like =OFFSET(A1, 0,0, COUNTA(A:A),1)
While this works ok, since OFFSET is volatile function, it will recalculate every time something changes in your workbook. Even when someone replaces a bolt on landing gear of USS Enterprise.
This will eventually make your workbook slow.
That is where INDEX comes.
You see, INDEX is a non-volatile function*.
So you can create lstShips that points to,
=A1: INDEX(A:A, COUNTA(A:A))
*Even though INDEX is non-volatile, since we are using it in defining a range reference, Excel recalculates the lstShips every time you open the file. (reference).
Reason 6: Get any 1 range from a list of ranges
INDEX has another powerful use. You can get any one range from many ranges using INDEX.
Since you are a successful, smart & resourceful star fleet commander, you got promoted. Now you manage fleet of several planets.
And you have similar ship detail tables for each planet in a workbook. And you want to calculate average age of any planet’s ships with just one formula.
Again INDEX to rescue.
Assuming you have 3 different tables – planet1, planet2, planet3
and selected planet number is in cell C1,
write =AVERAGE(INDEX((planet1,planet2,planet3),,,C1))
The reference (planet1,planet2,planet3) will point to all data and C1 will tell INDEX which planet’s data to use.
Pretty nifty eh?!?
Reason 7: INDEX can process arrays
INDEX can naturally process arrays of data (without entering CTRL+Shift+Enter).
For example you want to find out how much staff is in the ships whose captain’s name starts with “R”.
write =SUM(INDEX((LEFT(sf[Captain],1)=“r”)*(sf[Staff count]),0))
Although LEFT(sf[Captain],1)=”r” and sf[Staff count] produce arrays, since INDEX can process arrays automatically, the result comes without CTRL+Shift+Enter
Where as if you use SUM alone =SUM((LEFT(sf[Captain],1)=”r”)*(sf[Staff count])) you have to press CTRL+Shift+Enter to get correct results.
Other formulas: SUMPRODUCT & MATCH too can process arrays automatically.

This is an awesome way to generate Housie Tickets. It's tough to find these tickets in the US. Thanks!
Hi mate
thanks for this.. this is a lot of fun...
Thanks mate. This is a cool way of generating housie tickets........
Thank you, great to see it working.
@All.. thanks everyone. I am happy you found this useful 🙂
Hi Chandoo,
I was trying to create this with family member names (around 45 names) instead of numbers. Is this possible?
Please help. The party is on 22nd Nov. Thank you.
I am looking at your hidden rows
I wanted to convert the tickets from 3x9 to 6x9
But I can't understand it
Would help me with that
Hi Chandoo,
I really liked your Housie Tickets. However, the tickets printed out are too small and I can't seem to increase the size to the regular printed housie tickets. Can you help me out please? Thank You. Dina
@Dina: Welcome to PHD and thanks 🙂
hmm... I have tried to set the printing preferences to print 20 odd tickets per each A4 page. But if you are looking for bigger size here is how you can get:
1. Go to to print preview and adjust margins and scaling. Scale your sheet until the tickets fill up the print area.
2. print. You may want to repeat this few times so that you can get optimum size. Then save the workbook.
3. next time you need more tickets, just print. 🙂
Let me know if you face any difficulties.
Thanks so much! I've been trying to find a random ticket generator with bigger tickets. So happy I found yours and instructions to increase size. You're a STAR!
I am having difficulties with sizing. I need eight tickets on A4 Landscape page. I am not too good with Excel but better with Libre Office Calc. I have tried to save to that format but it doesnt work. Can anyone send instructions that are not too technical?
Hi, Thanx a lot .. its very useful
hey i tried to download this zip but looks like the file is damaged can you help ?
Same problem here 🙁
@Ravi : You are welcome 🙂
@Madhu: Are you sure? I just tried to download and unzip it and it seems to work fine. Can you try again and let me know if you have troubles. It is a very small file, may be I can mail it to you.
Great.... Can i change colors
@Andre... sure you can. You may want to adjust colors from conditional formatting so that they are truly changed. Let me know if you have some trouble.

What happened to number 90???
@Modeste: Thanks for sharing your article.. 🙂
@Jo.. "I have removed number “90? from the list in order to reduce some complexity in generating the tickets." Generating 90 along with 80-89 creates a tricky problem of having 11 numbers in the last band while every other column has only 10 possible values.
May be you can take a look at the workbook formulas and help me generate the 90 as well by changing them...
hi Chandoo,
I have solved both of the problems. now any column not remains blank and yes.. number 90 comes also...
Cool. If possible, email the updated workbook so I can link it here.

Hi Chandoo / Jim,
Thanks for the details and excellent tool.
I am working for a media company in India and based out of Mumbai. We want to generate huge number of bingo tickets in 5x5 version with 26 grids in one sheet and roughly 13 million such sheets.
Please let me know if either of you can help me on this.
Not sure if it can be done in XL or VBA .
This is very urgent and need your help.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I understand its good for printing business and lot of vendors are already approaching us.
Issue is of generating these 5*5 tickets and each ticket to have unique 8-10 digit identity code.
Basically below is the requirement
***********
Each sheet will have 26 tickets
Each ticket have 5*5 grid acc to the US 1-75 number system but with no free space
Each ticket has a unique 8-10 digit pin code
We plan to print 5 million sheets (each sheet having 26 tickets)
There will be 1.25 million sheets which will be unique and the balance sheets (3.75m) will have the same tickets
However pin code will be unique in each ticket and hence there will be 5*26=130million unique pin codes
These output needs to come on an excel or as a PDF file in the same format as the sheet
*************
Let me know if you can guide me of such software or program that can be used by me for ticket generation.
Thanks
Jai

@Shyaamal I guess the ticket generator should be able to make obscenely high number of unique tickets. since the process is randomized, you might see same tickets twice...
Hello Chandoo,
Awesome tool! .. I loved it.
Is there a way to tweak the generator so that I only generates no more than 4 tickets a worksheet (Make it nice and clean to print)?
I want to print more than a 1000 of these tickets, so dont want to click on refresh button 250 times.. so if once I click refresh, is it possible to generate 50 or so worksheet at a time? So that I can click refresh 4 times and get my 1000 tickets?
Please let me know of your thoughts.
Thanks
Vir
@Vir.. Thank you.
you can easily modify the formulas and add a macro to do this. The file is unlocked, so feel free to make the changes..
There is an online generator at http://www.bingocardmaker.co.uk, which generates the numbers in blocks of 6 cards, where every number from 1-90 is used. This is how the UK style books are usually printed, so that if you buy 6 tickets you are sure to have every number once and only once. Makes the generation routine a little trickier.

These tickets can not be used to play standard 90 ball Bingo, the number 90 is missing and the tickets must be produced in blocks of 6 which contain every number from 1 to 90. Also you can not have any columns with three blanks ( no numbers ) on the same ticket.
I'm really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

There is a major flaw in your system. It does not have the number 90. I know you have removed it save the complexity but as it been more then 10 years since you provided us with this, I am sure you have evolved yourself to get the 90 in the tickets.
Also 2nd major flaw is that there should be only 6 tickets in a page of Housie or 12 with 6 in one column side. The major key point here is in the set of 6 tickets all the numbers 1 to 90 should be covered once and not repeated.
Can You resolve these 2 issues.
Awaiting response.
Yeah, unable to get number 90 due to complexity, kindly guide regarding how can we get the same.
Thanks Chandoo - That's an awesome application.

Hello, chandoo this trick is tried and tested. Thanks for updating the useful content.
Need a little help i am customising the excel and i need that the every 6 tickets rows don't repeat the same no.
its a nice program but one last logic is missing. If you see any Tambola ticket book you will find all 90 numbers in any set of six tickets in a page. so please modify the generator program to get sets of 6 ticket at a time with all 90 numbers included in it. All other random number logics are ok
this is just great ! will it generate 700 all different random tickets? i need that many
I want to create 1200 housie tkts ! Every 6 tickets must use all 90 numbers! And I want to change the background of the tickets! Also , I want to color some of the empty boxes! Is that possible ?
