Hello Thanks,
In the first 4 paragraphs, we use =VLOOKUP(D14,B4:F12,5,FALSE) this formula. Here, we define the range of cells. So, when we define column number as 5, Excel will count from column B as the first column.
Whereas, =VLOOKUP($C5,$H$5:$J$9,COLUMN()-3,0) in this equation, we use Column() function. This function will count the column number from column A. So, when you have COLUMN()-3 and are in column E, it will be 5-3= 2.
So, I hope you understand it clearly. If you have further queries, feel free to ask in the comment box.
