The demo mentioned in the text
A formula like =MATCH($B$3;OFFSET($C$3;G3:G8;H3:H8;1;1);0) fails returning
Err:504.
The OFFSET subexpression turned into the formula =OFFSET($C$3;G3:G8;H3:H8;1;1)
elswhere returns the expected array, however.
Conclusion: MATCH does not correctly accept a search array returned by an
OFFSET expression under (iterative) array-evaluation due to arrays on the
second and the third parameter position.
Older versions evaluate expressions of the mentioned kind correctly as
expected.
I came about this trying to answer a user question about searching in 2D-arrays
in a forum. I tried to reactivate older examples using formulae of the kind
that had worked but did no longer.
A reduced example is attached.</pre>
