If you have the functions in the freely downloadable file at

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.
