# Choose Function

Returns a selected value from a list of arguments.

## Syntax:

    Choose (Index, Selection1[, Selection2, ... [,Selection_n]])

## Parameters:

\<emph\>Index:\</emph\> A numeric expression that specifies the value to return.

\<emph\>Selection1:\</emph\> Any expression that contains one of the possible choices.

If the index value is less than 1 or greater than the number of expressions listed, the function returns a Null value.
