I think that i solved what i was looking to do.

Changed the formula from -1 to -9.


=IF(SUM(OFFSET(colors,SUM(ROW()-ROW(colors)),0))COLUMN()-COLUMN
(result),
INDEX(colors,SMALL(IF(OFFSET(colors,SUM(ROW()-ROW(colors)),0)=1,
COLUMN(colors)-9),1+COLUMN()-COLUMN(result))),"")

Thank you!!!


OK, now I see. If your colors are not starting in column B you will
have the wrong result if you just subtract 1.
The thing you should subtract is MIN(COLUMN(colors)-1
giving the following formula that I hope should survive insertion of
new columns to the left for example.

=IF(SUM(OFFSET(colors,SUM(ROW()-ROW(colors)),0))COLUMN()-
COLUMN(result),INDEX(colors,SMALL(IF(OFFSET(colors ,SUM(ROW()-
ROW(colors)),0),COLUMN(colors)-MIN(COLUMN(colors))+1),
1+COLUMN()-COLUMN(result))),"")

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
