Explainingarrayformula(Returnvaluesvertically)
Step1Identifycellsequaltothecriterion
=(equalsign)isacomparisonoperatorandchecksifcriterion($B$8)isequaltovaluesinarray($B$2:$B$6).Thisoperatorisnotcasesensitive.
$B$8=$B$2:$B$6
becomes

becomes
{"Pen"="Pen","Pen"="Eraser","Pen"="Paper""Pen"="Pen","Pen"="PaperClip"}
becomes
{TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE}
Step2Createarraycontainingrownumbers
ROW($B$2:$B$6)MIN(ROW($B$2:$B$6))+1
becomes
{2,3,4,5,6}MIN({2,3,4,5,6})+1
becomes
{2,3,4,5,6}2+1
becomes
{2,3,4,5,6}1
becomes
{1,2,3,4,5}
Step3Filterrownumbersequaltocriterion
=INDEX($C$2:$C$6,SMALL(IF({TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE},{1,2,3,4,5},""),ROW(A1)))
becomes
=INDEX($C$2:$C$6,SMALL({1,"","",4,""},ROW(A1)))
Step4Returnthekthsmallestrownumber
SMALL(IF($B$8=$B$2:$B$6,ROW($B$2:$B$6)MIN(ROW($B$2:$B$6))+1,""),ROW(A1))

SMALL({1,"","",4,""},ROW(A1))
Thispartoftheformulareturnsthekthsmallestnumberinthearray(1,"","",4,"")
TocalcualtethekthsmallestvalueIamusingROW(A1)tocreatethenumber1.
WhentheformulaincellC8iscopiedtocellC9,ROW(A1)changestoROW(A2).ROW(A2)is2.
InCellC8:=INDEX($C$2:$C$6,SMALL((1,"","",4,""),ROW(A1)))

Thesmallestnumberinarray(1,"","",4,"")is1.
