INDEX & MATCH FUNCTIONS IN
EXCEL
This formula: =index($B$3:$E$7,3,3) would return ‘Paris’, as it is
located on the 3rd row and 3rd column of selected array.
Now let us introduce the MATCH function. This function allows the user to look for a certain
value in a given array and returns the corresponding cell relative position. The syntax is as
follow: =match(lookup value, array, match type)
for EXAMPLE…
If we apply a MATCH function on the table like that: =match(”Jessica”,$B$3:$B$7,0) we
would get a value of ‘3’ (“Jessica” value is located on the 3rd row of the selection)
The combination of INDEX and MATCH allows the user to obtain a value corresponding to an input
parameter, the parameter and value to return being in different data table’s columns and same row
To do this, the syntax is the following: =index(array containing value to return, match(parameter, array
containing parameter,0)).
for EXAMPLE…
For example, if we want to get the city corresponding to the name Maria in the table, we should write
the following formula:=index($D$3:$D$7,match(“Maria”, $B$3:$B$7,0)) and we would get ‘Rome’ as a
result.

Excel LARGE Function
Summary
The Excel LARGE function returns
numeric values based on their
position in a list when sorted by
value. In other words, it can
retrieve "nth largest" values -
largest value, 2nd largest value,
3rd largest value, etc.
Purpose
Get the nth largest value
nth largest value with criteria
Hyperlink to first match
Generic formula
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(data,
MATCH(val,data,0))),val)
In the example shown, the formula in C5 is:
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(data,
MATCH(B5,data,0))),B5)
