Default Finding the position of the nth item in a list

Oh, yes, MATCH! I knew I should know this.

MATCH by itself will do exactly what I want. For some reason my brain froze.

Thanks, Garry. :-)


Glad to help!

I use MATCH() to return the position of a marker, then use INDEX() to return a
value. This works similar to a lookup function when the lookup value is
unknown.
