Default MATCH Multiple Criteria & Return Previous / Penultimate Match

Hi Domenic,

I see what you mean, a bit confusing. I did have to pause for thought. I
would expect ID 1311.

My qualification or rule of thumb for a penultimate zero (0) EmptyText row
was not made clear. I should have said AT LEAST 2 sequential or consecutive
TEXT rows. In your example, ID 1312 would be the LAST and ID 1311 would be
the penultimate.

Cheers,
Sam
