That says within the WB1 column, that there is a match on the 122 row, but the actual row is 123... so MATCH gives a row relative to the top of the vector. That is even better than I was hoping for (I was thinking that I'd have to subtract a scalar because the matrix started in Row 2 (or 3, since I'm trying to create the stats before the draw on 2/8). So, I dupe the MATCH function for each WB column, and can I then use MIN to find the first occurrence... Something like =MIN( MATCH(N(A2),'20120208'!B$2:B$1491,0), MATCH(N(A2),'20120208'!C$2:C$1491,0), MATCH(N(A2),'20120208'!D$2:D$1491,0), MATCH(N(A2),'20120208'!E$2:E$1491,0), MATCH(N(A2),'20120208'!F$2:F$1491,0) ) That would give me the lowest row in the matrix where N(A2) is found... I think. Thank you for your help, Miguel. Paz, (escribo español también)For you can use a matrix fomula: =ArrayFormula(MIN(IF('20120208'!B$2:H$1490=$A2;ROW('20120208'!B$2:H$1490);999999))) This is how is view in google docs, To enter in LibreOffice, intruduce the formula: =MIN(IF('20120208'.B$2:H$1490=$A2;ROW('20120208'.B$2:H$1490);999999)) and finish with Crtl+Shift+Enter Take care of sheet separator, if you use Libo or google docs. Miguel Ángel.
Wow! I read about array functions somewhere in the LO docs, but I had no idea how to use them. Also, I'm only using LO. I tossed the xls up to Google docs so that people who wanted to help could see the sheets that I was working with.
To enter in LibreOffice, intruduce the formula:
=MIN(IF('20120208'.B$2:H$1490=$A2;ROW('20120208'.B$2:H$1490);999999))
and finish with Crtl+Shift+Enter
I'll have to study that formula carefully...
=MIN(IF('20120208'.B$2:G$1490=$A2,ROW('20120208'.B$2:G$1490)," "))
Column H is the PowerPlay column - it doesn't fit into the domain for
Powerball Draws...
and the Ctrl+Shift+Enter... I tried just Enter and got an Err: 504. I
copied the formula for B to G, pasted, and finished with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and it worked.
Thank you for your help, Miguel.
I need to learn more about "array" functions... the one applied when you
use the Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
Back to the design table. :)
Paz,
