Default match and offset

I can see that OFFSET is not going to work.

Well it looks like it will work to me. I must say that it's not unusual for
a newbie to visually inspect a solution he got here and conclude it won't
work. Begging them to actual _try_ it often doesn't work. Astonishing it's
it?<g

Btw, Index will work too but I prefer Offset because it activates/references
fewer cells.
