what does the match formula in excel
The Match Formula in Excel is an easy way to have excel look through an array of values and return the relative position if the match is found. The difference between this and the lookup functions (eg. Vlookup) is it return the position of the item and not the item itself.atch(lookup_value, lookup_array, match_type). where lookup_value is the value you are looking up against the array, lookup_array is the range of values you are trying to match against, and match_type tells the formula how it should do the match.
