Apparently not!

Suppose your array has the values to be searched in column A and the 
values to be returned in column B. Then try:
=INDEX(B1:Bn;MATCH(1;EXACT("text";A1:An);0))
Note that this is an array formula, so when you have entered it you 
must complete the process by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If you do 
this successfully, the entire formula will appear in the Input line 
surrounded by braces, but you cannot simply type these braces yourself.

This relies on EXACT() being the one function that *is* case-sensitive.

I trust this helps.
