XMATCH Function

Contenu

# XMATCH

Searches for a value in a one-dimensional array and returns the relative position of the item.

XMATCH outperforms function MATCH as it allows searches according to the search mode.

### Syntaxe

XMATCH(Lookup; Array [; MatchType [; SearchMode ] ] )

Lookup: The value of any type to search for in Array.

Array: is the reference of the array or range to search.

MatchType: (optional) specifies the match type. Values can be:

- 0: exact match (default). If Lookup value is not found, then return the #N/A error.

- -1: attempt exact match. If Lookup value is not found, then return the next smaller item.

- 1: attempt exact match. If Lookup value is not found, then return the next larger item.

- 2: a wildcard match where characters *, ?, and ~ have special meanings.

- 3: a regular expression match.

Search Mode: (optional) specifies the search mode to use.

- 1: returns the first occurrence starting from the first item of Search Array (default).

- -1: reverse search. Returns the first occurrence starting from the last item of Search Array.

- 2: binary search that relies on Search Array being sorted in ascending order. If not sorted, invalid results will be returned.

- -2: binary search that relies on Search Array being sorted in descending order. If not sorted, invalid results will be returned.

Match Mode values 2 and 3 cannot be combined with binary search (Search Mode value 2 or -2).

Any of the optional arguments can be omitted. An optional argument requires all preceding separators to be present.

### Exemples

Supposons que nous ayons construit une petite table de base de données occupant la plage de cellules A1:DO4 et contenant des informations de base sur 118 éléments chimiques. La première colonne contient les en-têtes de ligne " Élément ", " Symbole ", " Numéro atomique " et " Masse atomique relative ". Les colonnes suivantes contiennent les informations pertinentes pour chacun des éléments, classées de gauche à droite par numéro atomique. Par exemple, les cellules B1:B4 contiennent "Hydrogène", "H", "1" et "1,008", tandis que les cellules DO1:DO4 contiennent "Oganesson", "Og", "118" et "294".

| A | B | C | D | ... | DO
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Élément | Hydrogène | Hélium | Lithium | ... | Oganesson
2 | Symbole | H | He | Li | ... | Og
3 | Numéro atomique | 1 | 2 | 3 | ... | 118
4 | Masse atomique relative | 1.008 | 4.0026 | 6.94 | ... | 294

=XMATCH("Atomic Number",A1:A4) returns 3, the third line of the A1:A4 array.

=XMATCH("Li",A2:DO2) returns 4, the fourth column of the A2:DO2 array.
