A couple mo

In C13:
=OFFSET(C13,-2,0)
or
=INDIRECT("r[-2]c",FALSE)

=indirect() is a volatile function--it recalcs each time excel recalcs.

=offset() would be the one I used.

Does anyone know the formula to ALWAY display the value in the active cell

For example: Display in Active cell c13 the value in c11 (row13-2=row11).

The problem comes if I were to insert 4 rows after c11 and insert more data.
I would subsequently want to display in c17 (13+4) the value from c15 which
is 2 rows above it.

An absolute cell reference is not the same as saying a constant of 2 rows
above the active cell?

Any ideas to share??
