Default Index question

Hi,

Just a quick question about index. Am I able to have a formula as the array
in index?

Using the following as an example:

1 C E F G H
Column 1 2
3
2 Month and year Row Region 1 Region 2 Region 3
3 January2001 1
4 January2001 2
.....
203 February2001 201
.....
403 March2001 401
.....
September2005

Why can I not say for cell F3 (trying to keep things simple):

=INDEX($C$1,$E3+2,1)

or this for F5 (trying to avoid using a plain cell reference for the array):

=INDEX(INDEX($C:$C,CELL("row"),1),$E5,F$1)

The idea is to have the array names stored in column C and reference to them
as required. Each name then has a set of values associated with it using the
INSERTNAMEDEFINE menu.

Perhaps it's just not possible or perhaps I'm just not typing it in
correctly. If you can tell me which of these it is it would be very grateful!

Many thanks.
