match nth occurence
 

Hi

I can use match to find the first occurence of a value in a list - how can i
find the 2nd, 3rd, nth value in a list? I'm using excel 2007 btw.

Thanks

Max

Are you using VBA or formulas?

match nth occurence
 

Try this array formula, searching for the value 2

=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$20=2,ROW($A$2:$A$20), ""),ROW(A1))),"",SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$20=2,ROW($A$2:$A $20),""),ROW(A1)))
