OFFSET vs INDEX(MATCH(...))
The two following formulas return the same result:
=OFFSET(INDEX('G:\NADC Finance\David Friedman\P2P MAPPING\[Copy of MAPPING TABLE.xls]MAPPING_ACCOUNTS'!$E$1:$E$1050,MATCH(B2,'G:\NADC Finance\David Friedman\P2P MAPPING\[Copy of MAPPING TABLE.xls]MAPPING_ACCOUNTS'!$E$1:$E$1050,0)),,-2) and =INDEX('G:\NADC Finance\David Friedman\P2P MAPPING\[Copy of MAPPING TABLE.xls]MAPPING_ACCOUNTS'!$C$1:$C$1050,MATCH(B2,'G:\NADC Finance \David Friedman\P2P MAPPING\[Copy of MAPPING TABLE.xls]MAPPING_ACCOUNTS'!$E$1:$E$1050,0)) However, when the external workbook is closed, the formula using OFFSET returns #VALUE! errors and the other does not. Is this because OFFSET is a volatile function? Thanks, Dave |

Wouldn't think it is because it is volatile, SUMIF is not volatile but it
doesn't work on closed projects, whereas SUMPRODUCT does. I would guess it is just down to the coder. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Dave F" wrote in message ...
