Here are some variants on the answers already given plus an additional one that allows you to choose whichever elements you want from A.

 

Note that the functions were written in Mathcad Prime Express 7.  Express does not have programming and so breaks a function down into a sequence of successive (functional) steps.

        Hello, I can confirm that submatrix() and programs are applicable and are the intended approach.

         

        However, getting back to initial request to "simple and elegant solution": Utilizing simple Mathcad definition capabilities, please compare this:

        See the second line in my response - the shuffle was just there to randomize the data for test purposes (and provide a function that is potentially useful in other circumstances).

        Well I see. Thank you for the reminder.

        Seems that the initial post caused a lot of elegant and other related solutions.

        I'd say that this solves the issue anyway.

        What you think?
