offset in excel

[luvbite38]

Hi,

I have written following formula in the cell but recieved an error.

could you pls help correcting the formula.

I dont want to reference the cell address, I want to use the cell address function and apply the offset.

=OFFSET(CELL("address"),-2,-1)

thanks in advance

Try

=OFFSET(INDIRECT(CELL("address")),-2,-1)

Ahhhh,,,, I just noticed something, when I type the same formula in the adjacent cell, it changes the value in the most recent cell. I have to manually press F2 and in all cell containing this formula to get the right value.

Any idea why???

Thanks

Try this (the active cell is B3 - relative name in the sheet of the formula):

Or only this:

=OFFSET(INDIRECT(CELL("endereço",B4)),-3,-1)

Maybe this

=OFFSET(INDIRECT(CELL("address",INDIRECT("RC",FALSE))),-2,-1)

I love you mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :P

[T. Valko]

Maybe this

=OFFSET(INDIRECT(CELL("address",INDIRECT("RC",FALSE))),-2,-1)

M.

That can be reduced to:

=OFFSET(INDIRECT("RC",0),-2,-1)
