MATCH (Value,Array,Type)
where,
- Value is the value to be matched from the array
- Array is the array of values or reference to the cells containing values
- Type specifies the method for matching the value with values in array. It can be -1, 0 or 1.
- MATCH(), looks up values in a reference or array.
Description
MATCH (Value,Array,Type) e.g. MATCH("A",["A","B","C"],1) returns relative position of 'A' as 1.
MATCH(44,[40,42,44],1) returns relative position of '44' as 3.
- MATCH() displays the relative position of the matched value in an array.
- Value can be a number, text or logical value, or reference to cells containing number, text or logical value.
- Array can be set of values or a reference to cells containing values.
- 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 Type. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be '1'.
- The following table shows how Type works with respect to the order of values in Array-
| Type | Order of values in Array | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 or omitted | Ascending Order | Finds the largest value <= Value. |
| 0 | Any order | Finds the first value exactly equal to Value. |
| -1 | Descending order | Finds the smallest value >= Value. |
- The uppercase and lowercase characters are not distinguished in an array of text values.
- If no matching value is found, Calci displays #NULL error message.
- For invalid arguments, Calci displays #NULL error message.
Examples
| 34 | JOHN | 45 |
| 46 | SMITH | 12 |
| 51 | MARY | 3 |
| 75 | 1 |
=MATCH(46,A1:A4,1) : Matches value '46' with that in an array with reference cells A1 to A4.
Returns the relative position 2. =MATCH(39,A1:A4,1) : As no exact match, Calci finds largest number in array that is less than '39'.
Returns the relative position 1 for value '34'. =MATCH("MARY",B1:B3,0) : Matches string 'MARY' with that in an array with reference cells B1 to B3.
Returns the relative position 3. =MATCH(45,C1:C4,-1) : Matches value '45' with that in an array with reference cells C1 to C4.
Returns the relative position 1. =MATCH(2,C1:C4,-1) : As no exact match, Calci finds smallest number in array that is greater than '2'.
Returns the relative position 3 for value '3'.
