RE: match function
Hello SashaThank you for your question
The match function simply searches through an array of data and returns the relative postion of an item that matches a particular criteria.
It has the following syntax
MATCH(lookup_value,lookup_array,match_type)
The lookup value is the criteria you are searching on
Lookup Array is the range of the array you are searching
Match type is either 1,0 or -1
1 finds the smallest value that is less than or equal to the criteria. The array must be sorted in ascending order
0 finds the first value that is exactly equal to the criteria
-1 finds the largest value that is greater than or equal to the criteria. Here the array must be sorted in descending order
Hope you're well
Regards
Stephen
