Find first occurence of a number in an array 7 cols wide
In a lotto analysis spread sheet, I want to find row of the first occurence
of each number (1 to 49) in a 2 dimendional array 7 columns wide--essentially to find how many spins since the last draw of the number. Can this be done using functions only e.g. MATCH or do I need to learn VBA quickly? |

*Maybe* something like this...
Numbers in the range A1:G100 Numbers 1:49 in the range I1:I49 Enter this array formula** in J1 and copy down to J49: =MIN(IF(A$1:G$100=I1,ROW(A$1:G$100))) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ricardo-SA" wrote in message ...
