In the MATCH() function, it is unclear what Excel does with duplicate data. For example, I have a time series of data and want to determine when it reached a given value. t = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, ... value = 1,2,2,3,3,3,4, ..... These values are in "ascending order" so I use =MATCH(3, array, 1), but it does not find the earliest time it reached 3, which would be the 4th point, but reports the last time, which in this example would be the 6th point.
Any ideas how to get this time? Our data is ascending but does not have great precision, so some values are identical. Thanks
