I'm assuming that there's a typo in the Index() formula.
The range is probably C86 to N86.

Then, the formula is to choose one of the 12 cells in the range C86:N86,
dependent on the value of "REPORTPERIOD" minus 1, and return the value in
that cell.

ReportPeriod can be a "named" cell, or even a "named" formula.

Try:
<Insert <Name <Define
And see if there's anything with that name in the box.
Click on the name and see what displays in the 'Refers To' box.

As to the SumIf() formula:
Since you are referencing 2 different size ranges on 2 different sheets, any
changes would be cosmetic.


As to the =+,
It's a holdover from a ex-Lotus user, where formulas in Lotus start with a +
sign, instead of a = sign in XL.
It can be eliminated.
