The Match function is used to find the position of a value in a list of. So say you have a list of names, in the cells from A2 to A20, the Match function will search through the list and find which position a particular value is in. Say you have a list of fruits and you are looking for bananas, you could do this:
=MATCH(A2:A20,"Bananas",0)
It can also be used to find a close value if there isn't a perfect match, either the lowest number or text alphabetically above it by specifying -1 where the zero is, or the highest number or text alphabetically below it by specifying 1 where the zero is. That number can be left out altogether, in which case it assumes that you want to use the 1 setting. You also need to have the values in order, either ascending if you are using 1 or descending if you are using -1.
