With your datalist going down, say 15 rows under the date row,
And you want to return the 2nd row,
Is this what you're looking for:

=INDEX(B7:F16,2,MATCH(LOOKUP(NOW(),B6:F6),B6:F6,0) )

You could easily assign a cell to contain the row number (of the datalist -
*not* the sheet row) that you're looking to return.
Sat you enter the row number to return into A1, then the formula looks like
this:

=INDEX(B7:F16,A1,MATCH(LOOKUP(NOW(),B6:F6),B6:F6,0 ))

Oh Wise Ones,

I have week ending dates in B6:F6. In F1 I have the formula
=LOOKUP(NOW(),B6:F6) which finds the correct date in D6. In G2 If I have
=OFFSET(D6,2,0) I get the value from D8- it works. Why doesn't
=LOOKUP(INDIRECT(F1),2,0) work. I get a REF error. I need to find the last
week ending date from that range and get the values from that column. Any
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
