where,
*'''lkup_val''' is the value to be matched from the array
*'''Value''' is the value to be matched from the array
*'''lkup_arr''' is the array of values or reference to the cells containing values
*'''Array''' is the array of values or reference to the cells containing values
*'''m_type''' specifies the method for matching the value with values in array. It can be -1, 0 or 1.
*'''Type''' specifies the method for matching the value with values in array. It can be -1, 0 or 1.
MATCH() displays the relative position of a value in an array that matches a specified value in a specified order.
MATCH(), looks up values in a reference or array.

MATCH(lkup_val, lkup_arr, m_type)
MATCH (Value,Array,Type)
e.g.
e.g.
MATCH("A",["A","B","C"],1) returns relative position of 'A' as '''1'''.
MATCH("A",["A","B","C"],1) returns relative position of 'A' as '''1'''.
*MATCH() displays the relative position of the matched value in an array.
*MATCH() displays the relative position of the matched value in an array.
*'''lkup_val''' can be a number, text or logical value, or reference to cells containing number, text or logical value.
*'''Value''' can be a number, text or logical value, or reference to cells containing number, text or logical value.
*'''lkup_arr''' can be set of values or a reference to cells containing values.
*'''Array''' can be set of values or a reference to cells containing values.
*If '''lkup_val''' and '''lkup_arr''' are text values, they should be entered in quotes (e.g. "JOHN").
*If '''Value''' and '''Array''' are text values, they should be entered in quotes (e.g. "JOHN").
*The method to find a match can be specified with argument '''m_type'''. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be '1'.
