    CHOOSE function

    Observation rather than a question.

    I've used CHOOSE for some time to return general references based on simple lookup criteria. That is, in expressions like

    CHOOSE(MATCH(x,list,0), . . . )

    CHOOSE can return single values, arrays and range references. I've recently confirmed that it can return 3D references, e.g.,

    CHOOSE(n,Sheet1!A1:B5,Sheet1:Sheet2!A1:B5,Sheet1:Sheet3!A1:B5,Sheet1:Sheet4!A1:B5, . . . )

    IF can also do this, but CHOOSE is more useful.

    Re: CHOOSE function

    Hey fzz,

    In 2003 excel the choose list could only be 29 long. It got better in 2007 but is still only 256. See:

    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
