I am attempting to understand a formula that was suggested for use
within MSExcel2016 so I might us it within LibreOffice Calc.
The formula is:
=INDEX(IF(INDEX(A:A,LARGE(IF($A$4:$B$43=$G$2,ROW($A$4:$A$43),""),ROW(1:1)))=$G$2,E:E,F:F),LARGE(IF($A$4:$B43=$G$2,ROW($A$4:$A$43),""),ROW(1:1))).
When I copy/paste this formula first into Notepad and then copy/paste
from Notepad into a LO Calc spreadsheet, a #VALUE! error is returned.
I have not ever used e.g., INDEX(A:A) nor ROW(1:1) as a range
identifier/specifier within a formula, so I wonder if they are
acceptable within LO Calc, or is that causing the error, #VALUE! ? I
believe those identify/specify the entire [A] column and the entire
[1] row; is there an equivalent within LO Calc.
Once the error is cleared then I will continue to attempt to
understand what the formula is calculating/doing within LO Calc. I can
see that it is evaluating the data within cell $G$2, the LARGEST value
within A:A, within E:E, and within F:F; but not much else is making
any sense for me to understand. A simplified example would be
appreciated here.
Thanks for reading about my problem and for your comments/reply.

Update:
Here is a link to the original MSExcel spreadsheet, the OP posted at the
Excel Forum; the OP was seeking "Best formula to lookup most recent and
second most recent result from list of data" on 01-04-2016, 02:50 AM:

______________________________________________
Unfortunately, I do not understand the significance of: ROW(1:1) within
the original formula.
Error #519 says in part,
The formula yields a value that does not correspond to the definition;
Or a cell that is referenced in the formula contains text instead of a
number.
No result (#VALUE is in the cell rather than Err:519!)
and it is true that columns H:J for row1 contain text strings, not
numerical data.
I am still at a loss of understanding .
