WorksheetFunction.Choose Method
Uses Arg1 as the index to return a value from the list of value arguments.
Syntax
expression.Choose(Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, Arg4, Arg5, Arg6, Arg7, Arg8, Arg9, Arg10, Arg11, Arg12, Arg13, Arg14, Arg15, Arg16, Arg17, Arg18, Arg19, Arg20, Arg21, Arg22, Arg23, Arg24, Arg25, Arg26, Arg27, Arg28, Arg29, Arg30)
expression A variable that represents a WorksheetFunction object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arg1 | Required | Variant | Specifies which value argument is selected. Arg1 must be a number between 1 and 29, or a formula or reference to a cell containing a number between 1 and 29. |
| Arg2 - Arg30 | Required | Variant | 1 to 29 value arguments from which Choose selects a value or an action to perform based on Arg1. The arguments can be numbers, cell references, defined names, formulas, functions, or text. |
Return Value
Variant
Remarks
- If is 1, Choose returns value1; if it is 2, Choose returns value2; and so on. If is less than 1 or greater than the number of the last value in the list, Choose generates an error. If is a fraction, it is truncated to the lowest integer before being used.
- If
For example, the formula:
=SUM(Choose(2,A1:A10,B1:B10,C1:C10))
evaluates to:
=SUM(B1:B10)
which then returns a value based on the values in the range B1:B10.
The Choose function is evaluated first, returning the reference B1:B10. The SUM function is then evaluated using B1:B10, the result of the Choose function, as its argument.
