MATCHES is a powerful enhancement to the Excel's built-in MATCH function and returns the relative positions of all items in a one-dimensional array that match a specified value

Excel's built-in MATCH function returns the relative position of the first matching item in a one-dimensional array. MATCHES was designed to overcome this limitation by returning the relative positions of all matching items in a one-dimensional array. In addition, for numeric matches, there are five matching criteria available in MATCHES (i.e., equal, greater than, greater than or equal, less than, and less than or equal) versus the three matching criteria available in MATCH. Also note that MATCHES uses the XTYPE function.

MATCHES consists of two required parameters and four optional parameters as follows:
A) The first parameter, required, specifies the value that is intended to be looked up in an array.

B) The second parameter, required, specifies the one-dimensional array that is used for the lookup.

C) The third parameter, optional, specifies the match type that is considered during lookup and takes the following five arguments:
0 or omitted, for 'equal to'
1 for 'greater than'
2 for 'greater than or equal to'
-1 for 'less than'
-2 for 'less than or equal to'

D) The fourth parameter, optional, is utilized to specially lookup errors and takes the following fifteen arguments:
-1 indicates all errors
0 for #EXTERNAL!
1 for #NULL!
2 for #DIV/0!
3 for #VALUE!
4 for #REF!
5 for #NAME?
6 for #NUM!
7 for #N/A
8 for #GETTING_DATA
9 for #SPILL!
10 for #CONNECT!
11 for #BLOCKED!
12 for #UNKNOWN!
13 for #FIELD!
14 for #CALC!

E) The fifth parameter, optional, is utilized to specifically lookup blanks and takes the following three arguments:
0 for all blanks
1 for real blanks
2 for formula blanks

Note that all blanks can also be looked up by specifying either nothing or "" for lookup_value in which case the 0 argument may or may not be specified.

F) The sixth parameter, optional, is used to specifically lookup logicals and takes the following three arguments:
-1 for all logicals
0 for FALSE
1 for TRUE

Note that TRUE or FALSE values can also be looked up by specifying the lookup_value to be TRUE or FALSE in which case the sixth parameters is not utilized.
