None of this makes much sense.

How did you "download" powerpoint and excel?

From where?

Do you have a CD with Microsoft Office for installing on your computer?

Post back with more details and more clarity.

Hi all,

Okay i have 3 questions don't now the lot, story of my life.Anyway

1) What does the below mean
=INDEX (C86:N68,REPORTPERIOD-1)

2) Was wondering is there a way i can produce the below Formula a
smarter better way?

=SUMIF('Major Projects'!$A$13:$A$24,'Fin. Perf. (Capex
Resp)'!$B53,'Major Projects'!T$13:T$24)+SUMIF('Major Projects
(2)'!$A$13:$A$27,'Fin. Perf. (Capex Resp)'!$B53,'Major Projects
(2)'!T$13:T$27)

3) What does the + mean in front of =
Eg: i have a formula that has =+

Would appreciate any help hope i explained it okay, have a great day.
Cheers
Will

1)
Returns line #REPORTPERIOD-1 from horizontal array C:86:N86.
Probably returns an error .
If you want nth column from array, enter:
=INDEX (C86:N68,1,REPORTPERIOD-1)

2) Your formula is OK. I see no way to improve it

3) the + sign is quite useless, but produces no harm.
Probably an old habit of some Lotus 123 user

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.
