Default Finding the position of the nth item in a list

I have a feeling I should know this.

Let's say I have a list of 10 numbers in random order.

7
10
3
5
1
9
4
2
8
6

I would like to know the position of the smallest number.

Is there a function where I can give it SMALL(range,1) and have it tell me
it's in the 5th position?


Have a look at the INDEX() function...

Doesn't INDEX do the opposite, Garry? I give it a position, and it returns a value.
