Hey everyone!! Hope you all had a great holiday season!!

I have J4 set with "=Mode(B4:B105)" which column B contain various numbers. Column A cells are dates, (A4=1/1/2019, A5=12/28/2018....etc going backward) How can I change the value of J4 ":B105" to the column B cell number closest to a year from the date of A4 or is it not possible? TIA
 
Amended to look at minus 1 year

=MODE(OFFSET(B4,,,MATCH(EDATE(A4,-12),A5:A10000,-1)))

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.

=MODE(OFFSET(B4,,,MATCH(EDATE(A4,-12),A5:A10000,-1)))

Hmm...it gives me the value of J4 in the cell with this formula. I might be going about this the wrong way trying to explain this! The whole Mode(B4:B105) is just to find the number most indicated in that range. B105, I would like to change to B104 or B106, 7 whatever the row A104, A106, 7 value is in. For eg. if A4 is 1/1/19 and the closet date to it from a year ago is 1/3/18 and it's value is in A106 then I would like to have the B105 value to coincide with the A value, B106. Have I confused you entirely lol?

That should be what it is doing.

The Match(Edate part matches the date in A4 (minus 12 mths), to the dates in range A5:A10000.
It returns the row number of the date that is closest (Same or greater than A4).
It uses this row number to create the range for Col B, e.g. B4:B106 (if row 106 is where it found the date match).

Is the result wrong?

Yes, the B105 should change to B107, follow me?

Edited: The value of 6 will change eventually as the entries go on. I just need the formula to correct itself, if possible to fit the new date position.

It does, in my formula!

Old guy moment!! Im still worried about the actual J4 formula changing physically when you are actually replacing J4 with yours in L4!! Ok, I'm officially embarrassed lol!!
