    Re: How to use large formula with multiple arrays

    Thank you!
    Now my second part of the question, I need to link the result with another value in the same column...
    I tried like this:

    =INDEX(AR5:BI5;MATCH((LARGE((AS6:AV6;AY6:BC6;BE6:BH6);1));(AS6:AV6;AY6:BC6;BE6:BH6)))

    But it gives me n/a...any idea ?

    Can you post a sample file and tell us what result you expect?

    It doesn't need to be a gigantic file. It's only a SAMPLE file!

    This will give you the cell reference to the value obtained by Tony Valko's formula using his example range of values.
    Enter with Ctrl + Shift + Enter where you want the result. This is an array formula.

    You should be able to use the value returned to link with the other value in the column that you are interested in.

    Re: How to use large formula with multiple arrays

    Ok I made a little example to show you what i need.

    Basically, I want the tier marked in the orange to index match the tier of the weapon in the first table.

    This is a very simplified version of what i need, but u can see the n/a in there....

    I downloaded your file but I can't figure out what you're wanting to do.

    Re: How to use large formula with multiple arrays

    How about filling out your form so that it is more easily determined what you are trying to do.

    Are there really that many duplicated values in your real data as you show in the data?

    This is just a guess from the patterns I see in the formulas and following through with those. In L7 and filled down.
