Row_1: The index of the first row to be returned. A negative value chooses from the end of the array.

Row_2; Row_3; ...: (optional) The list of other row indexes to be returned. A negative value chooses from the end of the array.

None of the values of Row_1; Row_2; ... can be zero.

Consider the array A1:E3 below:

	A	B	C	D	E
1	AAA	BBB	CCC	DDD	EEE
2	FFF			III	JJJ
3	KKK	LLL	MMM	NNN	OOO

The formula {=CHOOSEROWS(A1:E3;2;3)} returns the array below with rows 2 and 3 chosen.

FFF			III	JJJ
KKK	LLL	MMM	NNN	OOO

The formula =CHOOSEROWS(A1:E3;1;-1) returns the array below with row 1 and row 3 chosen, note that row 3 is chosen from the end of the array.

AAA	BBB	CCC	DDD	EEE
KKK	LLL	MMM	NNN	OOO

CHOOSEROWS(Array; Row_n) is equivalent to INDEX(Array; Row_n).
