Try...

=MATCH(2,1/(A1:A12=2))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

OR

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A12=2),ROW(A1:A12)-ROW(A1)+1)

....confirmed with just ENTER.

Note that if you're looking for the last occurrence of 4, change '=2' to
'=4'.

Hope this helps!

I need a function like match that gives the last occurrence of a match rather
than the first. For example, if the data in a column is:
1
2
3
4
1
2
3
4
1
2
3
4
then MATCH(2,A1:A12,0) gives 2 (the second row). I need
LASTMATCH(2,A1:A12,0) to give 10 ( the last row containing 2).

Thanks in advance for your help.
