Wow!

I read about array functions somewhere in the LO docs, but I had no idea
how to use them.

Also, I'm only using LO.  I tossed the xls up to Google docs so that
people who wanted to help could see the sheets that I was working with.

I'll have to study that formula carefully...
=MIN(IF('20120208'.B$2:G$1490=$A2,ROW('20120208'.B$2:G$1490)," "))
Column H is the PowerPlay column - it doesn't fit into the domain for
Powerball Draws...

and the Ctrl+Shift+Enter...  I tried just Enter and got an Err: 504.  I
copied the formula for B to G, pasted, and finished with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and it worked.

Thank you for your help, Miguel.
I need to learn more about "array" functions... the one applied when you
use the Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

Back to the design table. :)

Paz,
