Understanding the CHOOSE Function in Excel

The CHOOSE function returns a value from a list of values based on the position number provided. The function syntax is =CHOOSE(<choice>,<option1>,<option2>,...<option n>) where <choice> is the position number and <option> are the list of values. The function displays the corresponding value based on the number in the <choice> cell and can be copied to other cells to dynamically display the selected value. An error is displayed if the number in <choice> is greater than the number of options provided.
