Hi

Having recently realised that the volatile Offset function may be contributing to slow performance I am keen to replace with an alterative.

I use Sum(Offset(...)), see attached, to work out the budget to date (from a 12 month phased budget).

I can use Index to return a single cell but struggling to find the same for a row range (ie month 1: month m) where m is the reporting month referenced by the formula.

Grateful for any help!

Hi Casey,

When you use INDEX you need to use it on both sides of the range operator e.g.:

=INDEX(...) : INDEX(...)

Or if the starting cell is always fixed, then:

=A1 : INDEX(...)

More on using INDEX to return a dynamic range here.
