Default how to code variable reference?

Amil,

Sounds like

=If(right($A3+weekoffset,2) 52, $A3+1000+weekoffset-52, $A3+weekoffset)

Opps. I forgot, I actually need the reference to the next row based on the
offset, as such:

weekOffset = 4
week newweek
200449 200501
200450 ...
200451 ...
200452 ...
200501 ...

does 200401 mean the first week of 2004.

is 200401 stored as a string? If it is stored as a number

=A1+3

200401 + 2 = 200403
