Array function does not seem to work
I thought that you had adequately explained the reason in the other thread
Bob so I did not respond. However, because it was in *another thread* I
suppose that for completeness in the archives it did require an answer.

Because you have a continental version of Excel which uses comma as the
decimal separator, so semi-colon is used as the list separator. Our
English version is dot and comma.

Do you use semi-colon separator or comma? If so change the , to ;

Thanks Bernard, but no the same error appeared, which suggests to me
its
not
the formula, but something in excel, what do you think, and any ideas
what
I
can test?

Not sure what you are doing but I wonder if the formula should be
=INDEX(C1:C1000,LARGE(IF(C1:C1000<"",ROW(C1:C1000 )),2))
the change being just after IF(

Over the last few days, I have sought and received help from the
community.
The help has been with formulas requiring array answers.
Each time I try the cntr-shift-enter, an error appears in the
middle of
the
formula. e.g Mike gave me this fomula
=INDEX(C1:C1000,LARGE(IF(C1000<"",ROW(C1:C1000)), 2)) I used the
ctrl-shift-enter and an error came up and C1000,LARGE was
highlighted.
I
then
went on to the array learning module, and entered an array formula
for
part
of that study, and again an error message appeared with a similar
part
of
their function highlighted as an error. Anyone suggest solution?
