It is not clear, what <empty cell> means and it is not clear, what content is
in the cells A1:A5. Please attach a document with this error.

=MATCH(A1;{11;12;13;14;15}) returns 5 if A1 is empty, blank, null, nada,
nothing.
It should return #N/A.

I do not find an explicit rule, what to do in case of a reference to an empty
cell. But #N/A makes sense, OpenOffice.org 1 had returned #N/A, and both
LibreOffice and Gnumeric return #N/A. So I support to change the behavior to
return #N/A for a reference to an empty cell.
