Function Row()

Row()

This function is used to determine the row number of a given reference (the cell referred to in the function).


Syntax:

= Row (Reference_cell)

Reference_cell: This is the cell for which the row number is to be determined


Examples:

The function simply returns the row number for the cell which is passed on as reference with the function. For example:

• Row($A$3) - result will be: 3
• Row($C$35) - result will be: 35
• Row($AA$45) - result will be: 45
• Row($BB$125) - result will be: 125

You can also use this function to determine the row in which the function itself lies. For example, If this function is written in cell $F$5, then the function should return this cell's row number. For this the function can be simply written without the Reference_cell. It will be:

=Row()

...and the function will return the row number of the cell in which it is contained.


Application:

Though this function is very simple to use, but is a very useful functions. This functions is mostly applied with other advanced lookup functions, such as vlookup(), hlookup(), address(), etc. This functions works similar to Column() function.
