Want VLookup to Return the row above

[JoOwl0]

I have the VLOOKUP function:
=VLOOKUP(G1360,D4:G1358,COLUMNS(D1:G1))

which is properly returning the value in row G which corresponds to the
value in G1360. How do I get it to return the value in the row above
the row which has the value in G1360?

Replace with:
I have the VLOOKUP function:
=VLOOKUP(G1360,D4:G1358,COLUMNS(D1:G1))

which is properly returning the value in some row which corresponds to
the value in G1360. How do I get it to return the value in the row
above the row which has the value in G1360?
Hanging red-faced head.....

=INDEX(D4:G1358,MATCH(G1360,D4:G1358)-1,COLUMNS(D1:G1))

Oops, that gives #NA.
=INDEX(D4:G1358,MATCH(G1360,D4:G1358)-1,COLUMNS(D1:G1))
But thanks anyway

I don't think you can. However, you could use INDEX and MATCH to do that:

=INDEX(D4:G1358,MATCH(G1360,D41358,0)-1,COLUMNS(D1:G1))

Thanks, I should have looked more carefully and seen the problem myself.
