This Excel tutorial explains how to use the Excel ROW function with syntax and examples.
SUMMARY:
The Excel ROW function returns the row number for a reference.
For example,
- ROW(B6) returns 6, since B6 is the sixth row in the spreadsheet.
- When no reference is provided, ROW returns the row number of the cell which contains the formula.
PURPOSE:
To get the row number of a reference.
RETURN VALUE:
The ROW function returns a numeric value.
SYNTAX:
=ROW([reference])
ARGUMENTS:
The ROW function syntax has the following arguments:
- reference: Optional. The cell or range of cells for which you want to return the row number.
- If the reference parameter is omitted, it assumes that the reference is the cell address in which the ROW function has been entered in.
REMARKS:
Use reference to get row number of a reference.
- If reference is omitted, it is assumed to be the reference of the cell in which the ROW function appears.
- If reference is a range of cells, and if ROW is entered as a vertical array, ROW returns the row numbers of reference as a vertical array.
- Reference cannot refer to multiple areas.
