Query content of merged cells
Hi,
I have cells B1:E1 merged, and F1:K1 merged and so on. In the rest of my sheet I have formulas that have to refer to the content of first row. If the formula refers to B1, it runs, but if it refers to C1 or D1, it doesn't run. In the past, I had all merged range with the same number of cells, then, instead of C1, I putted OFFSET($A$1,1,INT((COLUMN(B1)-2)/4)*4+1) but it isn't always true. |

Use Row 2 instead of Row 1 to compute your offsets
from OFFSET($A$1,1,INT((COLUMN(B1)-2)/4)*4+1) to OFFSET($A$2,0,INT((COLUMN(B2)-2)/4)*4+1) "Lucio Menci" wrote: Hi, I have cells B1:E1 merged, and F1:K1 merged and so on.

It's easier than it could appair...

Hello Lucio,
If you want your type of formula I suggest to take =OFFSET($A$1,0,INT((COLUMN(B$1)-2)/4)*4+1) But if you want to have a non-volatile function (that is: a function which does not recalculate each and every time you press F9): =INDEX($1:$1,0,FLOOR((COLUMN(B$1)-2),4)+2) OFFSET is volatile, INDEX is not. BTW: FLOOR does exactly what you introduce with INT(x/4)^4. Regards, Bernd |
