Different ranges in formula
Hi,
This is probably an easy one - but I don't feel the sharpest right now... I have a MIN-formula like this: =MIN(E4;E5;E6;E7;E8;E9;E10;E11) but I'd like it to go as many rows down depending on a cell A1 (=8 in this case). E.g. if A1=1 the formula should read = MIN(E4) E.g. if A1=3 the formula should read = MIN(E4;E5;E6) etc. etc. Any help appreciated, I tried the Offset-function but couldn't get around it. Or am I totally off-track here ? |

Try...
=MIN(E4:INDEX(E4:E65536,A1)) Hope this helps! In article , Jan wrote: Hi, This is probably an easy one - but I don't feel the sharpest right now...

Different ranges in formula
Absolutely !
I run Excel 2000, so maybe that's why I had to make a small modification: =MIN(E4:INDEX(E4:E65536;H1)) (replace , with ; ) Thanks !

Actually, that's a regional issue (difference between using ; and , as
delimiters) -- Kevin Vaughn "Jan" wrote: Absolutely ! I run Excel 2000, so maybe that's why I had to make a small modification: =MIN(E4:INDEX(E4:E65536;H1)) (replace , with ; ) Thanks !

One way,
=IF(LEN(A1), MIN(E4:INDIRECT("e"&3+A1)), "") On second thought, this might be better: =IF(COUNT(A1), MIN(E4:INDIRECT("e"&3+A1)), "") -- Kevin Vaughn "Jan" wrote: Hi, This is probably an easy one - but I don't feel the sharpest right now...

Don't use this one. indirect is volatile and since you have 2 responses that
are not volatile, they should definitely be preferred over ... wait is offset volatile? Actually, offset is volatile, and if a volatile answer is good enough for Bob Phillips, who am I to disagree :) -- Kevin Vaughn "Kevin Vaughn" wrote: One way, =IF(LEN(A1), MIN(E4:INDIRECT("e"&3+A1)), "") On second thought, this might be better: =IF(COUNT(A1), MIN(E4:INDIRECT("e"&3+A1)), "") -- Kevin Vaughn "Jan" wrote: Hi, This is probably an easy one - but I don't feel the sharpest right now...
