"MATCH" Function In Excel

Updated: May 2, 2019

This function looks for an item in a list and shows its position. It can be used with text and numbers. It can look for an exact match or an approximate match.


Syntax:

=MATCH(WhatToLookFor,WhereToLook,TypeOfMatch)


The Type Of Match  is either 0, 1 or -1.

0 will look for an exact match. If no match is found the #NA error will be shown.

1 will look for an exact match, or the next lowest number if no exact match exists.

 

If there is no match or next lowest number the error #NA is shown.

The list of values being examined must be sorted for this to work correctly.

-1 will look for an exact match, or the next highest number if no exact match exists.

If there is no exact match or next highest number the error #NA is shown.

The list must be sorted for this to work properly.
