ROW Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Returning the row number of a reference for position-based calculations
Understanding the ROW Formula
The ROW function in Excel returns the row number of a cell or range reference. It's a positional tool for identifying locations—like determining positions or creating sequences based on row numbers.
ROW(B10) returns 10, as the cell is in the 10th row. It takes an optional reference parameter (defaults to the cell containing the formula), returning a row number—useful for dynamic positioning or arrays.
Why Use ROW?
ROW tracks vertical position—think sequence generation or reference navigation. Its ability to identify row numbers enables position-aware formulas, especially valuable in array formulas or dynamic ranges.
Example with Sample Data
Reference | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
B10 | =ROW(B10) | 10 |
A1:D5 | =ROW(A1:D5) | 1 (first row number) |
[none] | =ROW() | [Current row] |
ROW identifies position: B10 is row 10, without arguments returns the current row. It's a position reporter.
