Error in Function OFFSET
 

I am using the function OFFSET in a file to look for the values in another
file. But when I close the two files and later I open only the file where
this the function OFFSET, appears me the mistake #VALUE. Para that the values
come correctly, I have to open the two together files. Does anybody know how
I can solve this problem of link? Because the file should be opened daily,
but without opening the origin of the data.

Thanks

Hi, Eduardo

I'm using this formula:

=DESLOC('C:\Documents and Settings\dutsch\Meus
documentos\[basedesloc.xls]Plan1'!$B$3;0;1)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Daniel,
for what I can see you are looking for is to bring the value from cell B3 in
the Basedesloc file so why don't try

=('C:\Documents and Settings\dutsch\Meus
documentos\[basedesloc.xls]Plan1'!$B$3)

It doesn't required the Basedesloc document to be open

Sorry Eduardo, but in fact, I need to bring the value, in accordance with
the cell F1.

=DESLOC('C:\Documents and Settings\dutsch\Meus
documentos\[basedesloc.xls]Plan1'!$B$3;0;F1)

The cell F1 can have values from 1 to 12, that correspond to the months of
the year.
And I cannot use the formula to choose, therefore of the a size mistake,
that the formula this very big one.


Sorry my english, but I'm brazilian, and I don't speak very well.


Thanks

Hi Daniel

Use INDEX in place of OFFSET

=INDEX('C:\Documents and Settings\dutsch\Meus
documentos\[basedesloc.xls]Plan1'!$B$3:$N$3;F1)

That will work with both open and closed files
