I have a question about "Lamda".
I have a formula that works for taking data that is in a single column and sorting it into three columns. "Date", "Description", and "Amount". "=INDEX(A2:A22,SEQUENCE(ROWS(A2:A22)/3,3))".
When I try to create a Lamda function I get errors. I do not understand what I am doing wrong.
Can you tell me how to make this work?
Thank you.

Hi Joseph,
Welcome to our forum!
Your LAMBDA version of the formula is not the same. Your INDEX is:
=INDEX(A2:A22,SEQUENCE(ROWS(A2:A22)/3,3))
And your LAMBDA is:
=LAMBDA(a,INDEX(a,SEQUENCE(ROW(a)/3,3))(A2:A22))
If you change your LAMBDA to:
=LAMBDA(a,INDEX(a,SEQUENCE(ROWS(a)/3,3))(A2:A22))
And define it as a name, you can then use it as expected. Note: it won't evaluate in the cell like so:
=LAMBDA(a,INDEX(a,SEQUENCE(ROWS(a)/3,3))(A2:A22))
You must define it as a name first.
