Hi there,

I am trying to do something that I sure is fairly easy, but my feeble
brain is not helping much at the moment.

I would like to combine OFFSET with one of the lookup functions so
that I can return a value that are some known X,Y offset of my target,
sometimes in the same column or row. (I should note that my range is
not a 'list' by an Excel standards, but rather a set of data with a
specific locational pattern)

For example, I am looking for 'Joe' in some range, and I know that in
that range, Joe's age is always two rows above wherever I find his
name (in the same column) and his address is always 3 columns to the
right, and two rows down. etc etc (obv my range is not a true list)
--- I am sure I am blind to some easy fix as to combining OFFSET with
the appropriate lookup function. I then wanna do the same to find
'Joanna' in the same range, as her age and address are the same
offsets from wherever she might be found.

An Excel guru has gotten me to how return the cell address:

=ADDRESS(ROW(Data)+MATCH(Target,Data,0)-1,COLUMN(Data))

but I cannot pass the output to OFFSET for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
