MATCH function: Sort orders for match type

I'm using a match function as part of a formula to pull back data from an array. The first column in the array contains dates and the second the data points I want to analyse.

I need to analyse the data for various date ranges, but the data is externally sourced and therefore some dates (such as weekends) may be missing. I thought I could use the match type to find the lowest or highest near value where the actual date was missing, (type '1' for the start of the the range, type '-1' for the end), but the match types require the data to be sorted differently.

This is part of a much larger model, so I had hoped not to have to re-write the whole thing. Does anyone know a way around this?

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
