One of the power of combining functions in one cell is using the best of these functions
An example is here, OFFSET + MATCH will allow you to do something similar to VLOOKUP.
Why do we want to do that?
VLOOKUP will search in the left-most column in a table to get a value from a column on the right. But this is not the situation all the time
We needed several times to locate a row by using a column on the right, then get the value from a column left to it.
This is when VLOOKUP can not help us.
