Default How can I use OFFSET and VLOOKUP together

=OFFSET(F16,-1,0,1,1), Instead of using a cell reference I want to use a
VLOOKUP to reference a cell, like this,
=OFFSET(vlookup(D19,A3:A28,1,false),-1,0,1,1).

What I am actually trying to do is return a value from a cell before the
VLookup value.

My Vlookup, will find Tuesday for me, but I actually want the data from the
Monday before the found date.

Try this:

=INDEX(A3:A28,MATCH(D19,A3:A28,0)-1)
