Returns an indexed description from value/description list.
Description (index, list)
Index - (Input, expression, Required)
Specifies the index of the expression to return. It must be within the range of 1 to the total number of value/description pairs listed. If index is 1, the 1st expression is returned. If index is 2, the 2nd expression is returned, and so on. If a string value is passed, it will be converted first to an integer. If index is a floating-point value, it is rounded to the nearest integer. If index is less than 1 or greater than the total number of choices, then the result is Error. A non-numeric index also returns Error.
List - (Input, expression, Required)
Specifies one or more semi-colon-delimited value/description pairs. All of these pairs are listed in a single String expression.
The description of the nth expression, indexed by the index parameter.
