Thanks, Roni Click to expand... Yes, if you can sort the data, calculate the subranges (in additional columns, and apply the array formula to calculated subranges. Why not try the proposal for concatenating, sorting, and invoking a LOOKUP formula for it will certainly beat the foregoing in performance?
