I mean to say if we have this formula in a cell:
=vlookup(A12,A35:j40,4,true)
Now i wanna make this 4 to be act as variable and when i drag the cell
containg above formula, copied cell have values 5,6 7 ..n so on in place of 4.

It can seen as reverse of making variable as constant by use of $. e.g.$A$15.
 
Try
=VLOOKUP($A12,$A35:$J40,COLUMN(D12),TRUE)

Are you sure you want TRUE (approximate match) for the final argument
instead of FALSE (exact match)?

Hope this helps,

Hutch
 
Select 5 cells.

In the active cell enter this formula

=VLOOKUP(A12,$A$35:$J$40,{4,5,6,7,8},TRUE)

Do not hit ENTER key.

Instead hit CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to enter as an array.
