Excel Functions for Array Access 4/2
Session Links

  • index
    • index(1 Dimensional Array, n) → nth item
    • index(2 Dimensional Array, m, n) → nth item in mth row
    • index(2 Dimensional Array, n, 0) → nth row
    • index(2 Dimensional Array, 0, n) → nth column
  • offset
    • offset(reference, n, m) →
      • a region of the same shape and size as reference, displaced down n rows and to the right m columns
    • offset(reference, n, m, p, q) →
      • a p x q region displaced down n rows and to the right m columns
      • If either p or q is omitted, the result is the same as if you had supplied the corresponding size of reference

These functions are real workhorses. They're among the most commonly used worksheet functions in all of Excel. Part of the reason for this is that they're easy to understand, and most people can figure out what they do. Another reason is that they do really useful things.

But don't fall into the trap of overusing them. Often you can use other techniques that get you what you need much more easily.

index can also accept a fifth argument. If the first argument is a reference to a compound range, that is, a range with several elements (called areas), the fifth argument indicates which of the multiple elements is to be dealt with by the other arguments.
