Default use match from the bottom to the top.

what's the formula that gives the last one of the matched instance?

What kind of result do you want?

MATCH returns a number that is the matched lookup_values *relative* position
in the lookup_array. You can use another formula that will "match" the *last
instance* of the lookup_value which means it is effectively working from
bottom to top.
