Hi,

Can I make a value in a column as an address. e.g. I want to see maximum value in col(B) and take the value of col(A) in the same row then put it in col(C).

Col (A) Col (B)

12 23
23 16
44 19

Now I want to take 12 into col(C).

Hi naeem498

Please try the following two-line script:

sum(col(B));
col(C)[col(A)[sum.imax]]=sum.max;

It puts the max value of col(B), 23 at the 12th(as indicated in col(A)) row of col(C).

Thank you Hideo, I am sorry for not being clear enough. In col(C) I want the value of col(A) not col(B).

In col(B) lets say 23 is the highest number at row 10. Now I want the value of col(A) in row 10 to be copied in col(C).

Hi naeem498,

Then,

sum(col(B));
col(C)[sum.imax]=col(A)[sum.imax];

though this goes apart from your title "using column value as an address".

Hope this is what you wanted.
