I have found Harlan to be an absolute wizard with worksheet formula
manipulations, so my gut feeling is that if Harlan suggested a formula to
you, it is more than likely to be one of the more efficient methods you will
be able to find for your task.

A good day everybody

I am looking for some changes in a formula , to get best speed for
calculate
it by excel application .
My first formula was :
=AND(COUNT(B1;B3;B5)<=1;COUNT(C1;C3;C3)<=1;COUNT(D 1;D3;D5)<=1;COUNT(E1;E3;E*
5)<=1;COUNT(F1;F3;F5)<=1)
I was searching for an equivalent for this formula , and , thanks to
mr. Harlan Grove , I get the formula :
=AND(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(B1:F5))^0,ISNUMBER(B1:F5) *{1;0;1;0;1})<=1)
in US formula sintax and in my locale sintax :
=AND(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(B1:F5))^0;ISNUMBER(B1:F5) *{1|0|1|0|1})<=1)
and another :
=AND(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(B1:F5))^0; ISNUMBER(B1:F5)*MOD(ROW(B1:F5);
2))<=1)
(this are array formulas ,must introduce with Ctrl-Shift-Enter)
For a better overview plase read and here :http://groups.google.ro/

for formula : =AND(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(B1:F5))^0;ISNUMBER(B1:F5) *{1|0|
1|0|1})<=1)
is possible to make some changes in it ,
maybe I'll can to transform it in a NON-array and NON-volatile
formula, or to change some function in it to work faster ?

Can this function to be an
equivalent :=AND(COUNT(MATCH(ROWS(B1:F5);TRANSPOSE({1;3;5})) =1)) ??
It doesn't work still for me ...Please read and here , I'm not very
experimentate in functions and formulas :

Please very much for help

Thanks so much for your time and kinlyness
