Default Array function does not seem to work

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?

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(

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?

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

See my post in your other thread, I should have updated it to continental
separators

=INDEX(C1:C1000;LARGE(IF(C1:C1000<"";ROW(C1:C1000 ));2))

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.

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.
