Nest vlookup within large function
MAX(VLOOKUP(A8,Sheet1!B2:E12,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A8,S heet1!B2:E12,3,FALSE))
this works fine, but when I try to enter (ctl+shift+enter) the same formula using the large function, I get an error LARGE((VLOOKUP(A8,Sheet1!B2:E12,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A 8,Sheet1!B2:E12,3,FALSE)),1) Can vlookup not be nested within large? There is no particular reason I wanted to use LARGE, I wanted to try it and cannot make it work. Thanks for your help |

Why would you hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to use this formula?

According to this, http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/usertips/tip025.htm , LARGE is
not an array function. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

LARGE expects a range or array as the first argument - you could use this
formula =LARGE(VLOOKUP(A8,Sheet1!B2:E12,{3,4},0),1) confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER "Mike S" wrote: MAX(VLOOKUP(A8,Sheet1!B2:E12,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A8,S heet1!B2:E12,3,FALSE)) this works fine, but when I try to enter (ctl+shift+enter) the same formula using the large function, I get an error LARGE((VLOOKUP(A8,Sheet1!B2:E12,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A 8,Sheet1!B2:E12,3,FALSE)),1) Can vlookup not be nested within large?
