• database – The array or range containing the data to consider, structured in such a way that the first row contains the labels for each column’s values.

• field – Indicates which column in database contains the values to be extracted and operated on.

  • field may either be a text label corresponding to a column header in the first row of database or a numeric index indicating which column to consider, where the first column has the value 1.
