Default Simple (?) Match question

I'm trying to figure out someone else's workbook. This is the formula that
produces the correct contents of the cell in data!V4 on a different
worksheet.
=MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,'Data'!A7:BA7)-1
How do I change this formula to obtain the contents of cell data!V5 ? & V6
The E and the +307 has me most perplexed.
The A7:BA7 is number data that is entered weekly, and the V column is the
last of the data for this week, so when next week's data is entered, the
contents of cell data! W4 will be produced, and then I'd want the formula to
obtain the contents of W5 & W6.

Thanks,

Steve

Default Simple (?) Match question

9.99999999999999E+307 is scientific notation, i.e., approximately 10 *
10^307, or approximately 10 followed by 307 zeroes. Why someone is trying to
use a formula that considers such a large number, I have no clue.
