Address Function to increase reference cell by 1

[jaspncr]

Hi, I'm working on a project and I need some help with the address function. A few notes for reference.

Sheet I'm working in is called 'AvB'
The sheet I'm drawing data from is in the same workbook and is called 1) 'BS'

Background: The sheet called BS stands for balance sheet. On that sheet the months increase by 1 every time you move 1 column to the right. On 'AvB' I need to move 5 columns to the right to increase the month by 1. For example

Sheet name of table below: BS
For example this table below is very similar to the sheet I'm drawing numbers from. In this example I want the numbers residing in B2:J4 on the sheet BS and I want them to show up in the sheet AvB in their prospective named cells.

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	June	July	Aug	Sept
Revenue	1	3	3	4	5	3	4	5	7
Expense	1	1	2	2	3	4	1	2	3
Profit	0	2	1	2	2	-1	3	3	4

<tbody>
</tbody>

The problem is how AvB is constructed. Each month (Jan, Feb, etc) on this sheet requires 6 columns before the next month begins.

Sheet Name of Table Below: AvB
For example this table below is very similar to the sheet I'm pulling numbers into in terms of the column names and layout. My problem is that every time I get a new month (in this case let's assume it's Feb) I want to copy and paste columns B, C, D, E, F, & G to get the new Feb columns. I would like the column with Actual Feb'16 data to be populating from BS!C (Feb) however it's populating from BS!H (July). I'm pretty sure I can fix this by using the address function, but I just don't know how.

Actual Jan'16 <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Budget Jan'16 <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Variance $ Jan'16 <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Variance % Jan'16 <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Notes <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Actual Feb'16

Budget Feb'16

Variance $ Feb'16

Variance % Feb'16

Many many thanks in advance

Hi, how about something like this to retrieve the values based on the text in the header (I'm assuming the Month and Year are on a row by themselves):

Excel 2013/2016
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M
1		Actual	Budget	Variance $	Variance %	Notes		Actual	Budget	Variance $	Variance %	Notes	[Blank Cell]
2		Jan'16	Jan'16	Jan'16	Jan'16			Feb'16	Feb'16	Feb'16	Feb'16
3
4	Revenue	1						3
5	Expense	1						1
6	Profit	0						2

Hi FormR,

I tried the formula you listed but got a #N/A. I'm sure it's user error. I've posted two links to screenshots.

Screenshot 1 - AvB Sheet - Sheet where I'm using the formula to pull from the other sheet

Screenshot 2 - BS Sheet - Sheet where I'm pulling the data from

Not sure where I'm going wrong but I think these two images should provide all the information to identify my error?

Many Thanks in Advance
Jeff

Hi Jeff - looks like the month labels in the BS sheet match the labels in the AVB sheet, i.e. they also include the year (which is different to the sample data in the 1st post).

Try removing the LEFT() function, i.e. using the layout post#2

=INDEX(BS!$B:$M,MATCH($A4,BS!$A:$A,0),MATCH(B$2,BS!$B$1:$M$1,0))
