Excel Magic Trick 407: Amortization Table W Variable Rate
It has a bunch of Amortization tricks but no formula to hide formula if years go to 10 from 25.

e.g if you enter 25 years for payment the amortization table will only go up to 25 years however if you enter 5 years the amortization table will only go to 5 years and the rest of the cell will be blank.?

Always use ROWS or COLUMNS instead of ROW or COLUMN (as seen in video)
Dear Excellfun,
I have a problem with the ROW/COLUMN function when trying to use it in Vlookup or in Hlookup.
It? always gives an #REF error.
I dont want to change the row number or column number whenever I want to copy the formula to next cells.
Can you please show me how to use Row/Column again in my below example for Vlookup & Hlookup. Thanks.
