    Using MATCH with a table

    Hello,
    I have a table of numbers of, say 5 columns by 5 rows, located anywhere in a sheet.
    I need to find the table row number containing the largest value in the table

    Thanks for any help

    Hi,

    This array formula should give you the required info:

    =MIN(IF(A1:E5=MAX(A1:E5),ROW(A1:E5),""))

    confirm with CTRL,SHIFT and ENTER

    Thanks for the formula Sweep

    Can it be adapted to return the table's row number , f.i. E11:I16 and give the row number in that table (from 1 to 5) ?

    Yes,

    Still an array formula

    =MIN(IF(A1:E5=MAX(A1:E5),ROW(A1:E5),""))-MIN(ROW(A1:E5))+1
