RE: Offset function

Hi Hamish,

Thank you for your question.

The Offset function returns a reference to a range that is offset a number of rows and columns from another range or cell.

e.g. If you take this formula, = offset(a1,2,2), excel will start in cell a1 and display the value in the cell that is 2 rows down and 2 columns across from a1 (cell c3).

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Selecting constant values only

If periodically you need to change all your values back to zero, but leave formulas, text and blank cells as they are select the entire worksheet, choose F5 function key, Special and then Constants and choose the appropriate sub-selections. To enter zero in all the selected cells type 0 and then press Ctrl+Enter.
