VLOOKUP Column index counter not visible

[Gary Henderson]

Excel 2010
Hi.
When I do a vlookup my computer does not show the column index counter.
I have tried multiple spreadsheets and still nothing.
I have rebooted the computer to no avail.
I have opened the initial spreadsheet on another computer w/ Excel 2010 and the index counter is visible.
Any ideas?

Sorry - what do you mean by the index counter?

Hi Gary, welcome to the forum.

Am I right in saying this occurs normally of you use a large volume of columns? It might be better to consider using INDEX/MATCH if that's the case.

Regards
