MATCH returning unexpected result

[Yamezz]

I'm getting an unexpected result from an OFFSET(INDEX(MAX(LARGE))) formula. I've split the whole formula into its constituents to find MATCH is returning a result I don't expect.
Given the LARGE formula correctly identifies 44927 as the third largest number, I expected MATCH to return a result of 2, being that 44927 is in the 2nd column of the 1st row of the data. Where am I going wrong?

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
1000	44927	250	45107	500	45108
Result	Formula	Intention
44927	=LARGE(A2:J2,3)	3rd largest number
5	=MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2)	Position of 44927 (should return 2)
500	=INDEX(A2:J2,MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2))	should return 44927 or R1C2
45107	=OFFSET(INDEX(A2:J2,MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2)),0,-1)	should retun value at R1C1 = 1000

You are doing an approximate match rather than an exact match.
Try

=OFFSET(INDEX(A2:J2,MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2,0)),0,-1)

Or without the volatile offset function

=INDEX(A2:J2,,MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2,0)-1)

 

[Yamezz]

=INDEX(A2:J2,,MATCH(LARGE(A2:J2,3),A2:J2,0)-1)

Thank you fluff. You got me going and simplified my formula in one shot! Cheers.
