Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ entering Array formula in lookup function
I'm sorry gentlemen.
I was out of the office for a few days.
(Actually, I'm not sorry... I needed the time off!)
As Sam (I believed) surmised, the actual problem was that
I couldn't get the CSE to work properly.
It kept wanting to create the array function as:
={LOOKUP(A2,"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","#","#","#","#","#","#","#","#","#")}
instead of
=LOOKUP(A2,{"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"},{"#","#","#","#","#","#","#","#","#"})
I couldn't figure out how to get it to work as a function.
I managed to do it quite easily with VBA, and I simply wrote a UDF for the user
to accomplish his task.
To REALLY get on my "good side", he didn't NEED it.
He was "just wondering" if it could be done!
He's now VERY low on my priority assistance list!

Well, I guess then it's up to Paul to clarify what he's finding hard to do here.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ entering Array formula in lookup function
This is an array option in the formula and does not have to be entered
with CSE. It is just overloaded. You put the curly brackets in
manually.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ entering Array formula in lookup function
Dave, I guess Paul's issue is more on not being able to enter this as an
array formula. Changing the vector array elements to strings probably
doesn't really make a difference if the issue is about entering the CSE
formula.
