CHOOSEROWS Function Formula

=CHOOSEROWS(array, [row_num1, …])

Start the formula with an equal-to symbol.

CHOOSEROWS is the name of the function.

array is the range with one or more rows.

row_num1 is the row number of the array from which to extract data.

row_num1, can be, for example, a hard-coded number, cell address, or function that returns a number.

row_num2, row_num3, and others are optional and are row number 2, 3, and others.

For more info on CHOOSEROWS, refer to its tutorial whose links is given
above.

MATCH Function Formula

=MATCH(search_key, range, [search_type])

Start the formula with an equal-to symbol.

search_key is the data you want to search.

range is the area of the spreadsheet that may have the search_key.

search_type specifies the search method. For example, the value of 0 for search_type makes MATCH to conduct an exact search.

CHOOSEROWS and MATCH Function Formula

Substitute the MATCH function for row_num1 and row_num2 arguments of
CHOOSEROWS, assuming you want to extract two rows from an array.

The row_num1 and row_num2 arguments each are a number and the MATCH function returns a number. So, MATCH can be substituted for these two arguments.

The two functions combo formula is:

=CHOOSEROWS(array, MATCH(search_key, range, [search_type], MATCH(search_key, range, [search_type])

Example

=CHOOSEROWS(A3:D7, MATCH("ny236", C3:C7, 0), MATCH("bo502", C3:C7, 0)

MATCH will search for an exact match of the strings ny236 and bo502 in the range C3 to C7 and, if found, will return their position as a number for each. CHOOSEROWS will then return the data, pertaining to these strings, from the range A3 to D7.
