CHOOSEROWS function

PRO

The CHOOSEROWS function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that lets you select specific rows from a table based on their position. For instance, if you have a table with 100 rows and you only need information from the 10th to 20th row, you can use CHOOSEROWS to obtain this data. This makes it simple to handle and analyze specific sections of large datasets without needing to manually sort through all the information.

Documentation

Returns a range of rows selected from a table based on their position in the table.

Syntax

CHOOSEROWS(table, row_index1, [row_index2], ...)

Parameter	Description
`table`	A range of cells that represents the table.
`row_index1`	The index number of the first row you want to select. Must be a positive integer.
`[row_indexN]`	Optional. Additional index numbers of rows you want to select.

Behavior

The CHOOSEROWS function is used to select specific rows based on certain criteria. The function returns rows by their index positions in the provided table or range. It does not evaluate or filter based on conditions—only positional row numbers.

If any cells within the range are empty, these are typically ignored by the function unless the criteria specifically include empty cells.
Text cells are also included in the evaluation. The function will return rows where the text cell matches the criteria.
The function handles booleans as well. If the criteria is a boolean condition, it will return rows where the condition is true.
If there's an error in the data range, the function will return an error. The function will not run until the error is resolved.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error typically occurs if the criteria argument in the function is not a valid condition.
#N/A	This error is shown when the function does not find any rows that match the condition.
#REF!	This error is displayed if the given range is invalid.

Best practices

Always ensure that the criteria you provide in the CHOOSEROWS function is valid and matches the type of data in the range.

To prevent potential errors, it's a good idea to check the data range for errors before running the function.

Where possible, try to use specific and unique criteria to get the most accurate results.

Remember that the function can return multiple rows. If you only need one result, consider using other functions that return single values.

Usage

A few examples using the CHOOSEROWS function.

CHOOSEROWS(A1:D5, 1, 3) returns a range with rows 1 and 3  
CHOOSEROWS(A1:D5, 2, 4) returns a range with rows 2 and 4  
CHOOSEROWS(A1:E10, 1, 3, 5) returns a range with rows 1, 3, and 5
