Default OFFSET Problems

Sean, you are correct. I was thrashing around when I specified 1 for Row.

Sadly, that too generates an error message. The function wizard says the
ADDRESS function evaluates to {$F$2}. Perhaps the problem is that ADDRESS
returns an array??

Sounds liek you might want

=OFFSET((ADDRESS(ROW(O2),MATCH(O2,A2:K2,0),,false) ,0,2)

Else, you're moving one row down...

Here is a formula which returns an error message:

=OFFSET((ADDRESS(ROW(O2),MATCH(O2,A2:K2,0),,false) ,1,2)

I am trying to return the value of a cell two columns over from where it
found the MATCH. The MATCH function works, as does the ROW and ADDRESS
functions. But when I add the OFFSET portion, I get the generic error message.

Any help or alternate approaches appreciated.
