Default CASE

Could you possibly explain how this logic works...


VLOOKUP(A1,{"A","ACTIVE";"D","DELETED";"C","CLOSED "},2,0)

The fixed table_array used in the vlookup, ie:
{"A","ACTIVE";"D","DELETED";"C","CLOSED"}

is the same as a 2 col x 3 row range on the sheet:

A ACTIVE
D DELETED
C CLOSED

The lookup value in A1 is compared with the values within the 1st col above,
and where it matches exactly*, the corresponding value in the 2nd** col will
then be returned by the vlookup

*exact matching is specified by the last zero (or FALSE) in the
vlookup(..,2,0)
**that's the col index num: 2 in the vlookup(..,2,0)
