Formula to search array for text and return value from an offset cell

[tif4300]

I am looking for a formula that will search an array for a partial text string. Once that string is found, I would like it to return the value that is 2 rows below and 1 clolumn to the right.

I have attached a sample worksheet. I have tried approaching this from several different ways and can't find the solution.

Location 1
applicable due
test 1 15 0
test 2 5 3
test 3 13 0

Location 2
applicable due
test 1 5 1
test 2 59 17
test 3 25 7

something like
=INDEX($B$5:$B$101,MATCH("*location 2*",$A$5:$A$101,0)+2)

[e.isayev]

=OFFSET($A$4,MATCH(A3,A5:A101,0)+2,1,1,1)

This formula give value 15 for "Location 1" and 59 for location 2

Is this what you want

@martindwilson

your formula worked perfectly for what I am trying to do - I applied it to my acutal workbook and this is it:
=INDEX(BCOL,MATCH("*JENN CARE MANAGER TM A*",TIF,0)+2)

One question though. Is there a way to get the row number in the formula to increase by 1 if i drag it down?
+3, +4, +5, etc....

[martindwilson]

=INDEX(BCOL,MATCH("*JENN CARE MANAGER TM A*",TIF,0)+rows($a$1:a2))

That worked perfectly. Thanks!!
