It would be nice to have an intrinsic for this, but I just read the entire function list . . .
I need to find the largest number in a list which is smaller than a specified value. e.g., for the list "1,3,4,7,9" and 5, the largest such value would be 4. In a spreadsheet, I could use use vlookup() and specified the index as the row to return. In a database, could " SELECT MAX(myVar) WHERE myVar<5;", and so forth I had thought that FILTER could take a]b arbitrary function, but apparently not. t It could conceivably use a rgexp, but calling a regex for numeric comparison "ugly" would be polite I'm not seeing anyhing better than lo better than looping through at the moment -- Dr. Richard E.
