Hi,

Let me start with a diagram....
A B C D E
Aug-06 Sep-06 Oct-06
Sales 300 400 500
Receipts 400

Credit Mnth 1

I am using the offset function to forecast receipts from sales.
Thus in the above example, in cell E3 (receipts row under october) is
the formula '=OFFSET(E2,0,-$B5)'
The receipts in the month will therefore be determined according to the
number of months credit as entered in cell B5 (next to Credit months).
If the forumla entered in E3 is copied to D3, the incorrect result is
produced as it is picking up the value from cell C2 and not B2, as it
should be.

How can i adapt the formula so that breaks in the date range (eg column
C above) are automatically taken into account.

Or is there a better way of achieving the same result, other than using
the offset function??

Thanks again,

Jag
