Yes, but this could be done with built-in formulas.
Indeed, as you demonstrated, though it's not clear why that would be
desirable.
The particular formula you provided is slower than the array entered
VLookups formula when the number of recalculations on a sheet gets
relatively large.
I wonder how a user would test where the crossover in speed occurs so
he/she could get some guidance on which works best in his/her
application. I suppose just try them and see if there's a noticeable
difference.
Or, of course, if one just has a predisposition for built-in formulas
without regard for efficiency, then there you have one.
