Offset function

Please can you advise how I can sum the 12 cells to the right of a specific cell when the specific cell is found using a match/index function?

Thanks,
Greg

RE: Offset function

Hello Greg,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel courses with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding summing cells to the left of a cell value having been produced using a match/index function.

It would help if you could send a sample file showing the data as described and explain where you wish to place the sum result. I will take a look at this and come back to you with an answer.

My email is: rl@stl-training.co.uk

I look forward to your reply.



Have a great day.
Regards,

Hi Greg

Just checking if your question about summing 12 cells to the right of a specified cell was answered.

In a macro you can include
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(RC[1]:RC[12])"

which will sum 12 cells to the right of the active cell.

Not using a macro the OFFSET function could be used (in Excel 2010) to do a similar thing. For example
=SUM(OFFSET(B1:M1,0,1))

will sum the 12 cell to the right of A1.

Please let us know where the index/match function fits in if you need further help.
