In Excel, the Offset function returns a reference to a range that is offset a number of rows and columns from another range or cell.
can someone please tell me what that means?
for example in this formula:
=OFFSET($B$4,ROW()-ROW($F$4),0,1,1)
what is it doing?
The purpose of
OFFSET(BASE, ROW-OFFSET, COLUMN-OFFSET, NUM-ROWS, NUM-COLUMNS)is to select the content of cells that areNUM-ROWSrows andNUM-COLUMSdistant from the base cell. If the selected cells are just one, then the content of that cell will be used as result, otherwise the result will be an array that can be passed to functions asSUM.In your example, the function is simply selecting the content of the cell B4.
