Not the end of the world (and I made a work around with a T/F helper
column) but I was wondering if there is a way to use MATCH() to find an
opposite condition. For example, I have a column of attributes. 98% of
them are "Large", 2% of them are almost anything else, and not
consistent. I was looking for a syntax sort of like:

=MATCH(NOT("Large"),A:A,0)

That's the idea, anyway, but that doesn't work ;-)

Just curious. Thanks.

If your data range is $A$121:$A$126 this show the relative
position of your NOT("Large") occurences:

{=IF(ROW(A1)COUNTIF($A$121:$A$126,"<Large"),"",
SMALL(IF($A$121:$A$126<"Large",ROW(INDIRECT
("1:"&ROWS($A$121:$A$126))),""),ROW(A1)))}
