Enter "=lookup(" in the cell as shown, a prompt will appear:

LOOKUP(lookup_value,lookup_vector,result_vector) [Vector form]

The first parameter "lookup_value" asks us what value we want to query and tells the computer us To query the value "1",

The second parameter "lookup_vector" asks us which area we want to query,

Enter: 0/( A2:A8=F2),

(A2:A8=F2) is a logical array formula,

press F9 to view the operation result: {FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE; TRUE;FALSE},

What this formula calculates is not a value, but a set of logical values.

(A2:A8=F2) is a set of logical values, 0/( A2:A8=F2) is 0 divided by a set of logical values.

In the four arithmetic operations, 1 is usually used to replace the logical true value true, and 0 is used to replace the logical false value false.

0 /{FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE}, which is equivalent to,

0/{0;0;0;1;0;1;0}, 0/0 The result is the error value #DIV/0!, the result of 0/1 is 0,

gets the array: {#DIV/0!;#DIV/0!;#DIV/0!;0;#DIV /0!;0;#DIV/0!}

at{#DIV/0!;#DIV/0!;#DIV/0!;0;# Query 1 in DIV/0!;0;#DIV/0!},

cannot match the same value, then match the maximum value less than 1,

then matches 0, function Returns 58 in another set of numbers B2:B8 corresponding to 0.

This enables precise querying using the lookup function.
