The OFFSET function is the magic ingredient for writing formulas that automatically adjust as your data grows or summarise data based on criteria you set on the fly.

Thank you Mynda for the great offset video. I had fun following along with a good cup of coffee this morning :) When ever I see the offset function being used with named ranges in a charts, I always wonder why one would use the offset method vs using a table. I always go for the table method.

My pleasure! Because typically chart data is summarised, whereas table data is the underlying transactions before being summarised. You can summarise using a PivotTable and then insert a Pivot Chart, but not all chart types are available for Pivot Charts and that's one place where OFFSET can be useful in enabling you to build regular charts from PivotTables and still have them dynamically update.

I like the way you break down the OFFSET Function in this video. I had tried to grasp it in the past. I could not follow what was happening under the hood. The initial explanation where you demonstrate the behavior of the function using cell references and ranges makes it easier to understand the applications of it. From today i am the OFFSET MVP just because of your Video. Really appreciate. Keep these awesome videos coming.

Thank you for this helpful video My questions for offset formula: 1- Can we use the offset formula in the tables? 2- Can we use the two nested offset formulas? For example, when using VBA, we can select and select as many lines and columns as we wish in a specific range. In an Offset Range, can a second ranking be selected? 3- In a range, we usually use " " to hide the error values ​​when the Iferror function is used. This is returned by Excel to empty or 0. This takes into account the value formula when determining the number of rows in the offset formula. This gives false results. In a column or line series, how can we explain to Excel whether the relevant count or text is to understand how many values ​​are? 4- Index (): OFFSET() Can we create a data sequence using thise formula? 5- Can we use offset to extract data from different pages or workbooks?

Hi Emre, 1. In Tables? I can't think of a scenario where you'd want to do this. You can't spill arrays in tables (in most cases), so unless OFFSET is returning a single cell, then probably not. 2. Not sure what you mean by a second ranking. 3. You can use COUNTIF(..., &"") 4. A data sequence...why not use SEQUENCE? 5. Yes.

I used to use OFFSET quite a bit, but now with dynamic arrays I avoid it completely. And that is a good thing: OFFSET is a volatile function that quickly bogs down massive calculations and dynamic arrays are intrinsically much faster to compute. Great video and explanation, though.
@MyOnlineTrainingHub
@MyOnlineTrainingHub 2 жыл бұрын
Personally, I've never used OFFSET so much that it has caused performance issues because usually it's for dynamic named ranges, rather than occupying 1000's of cells in a worksheet. However, it is volatile, like you say and with Tables and structured references we hardly need it anymore, except in some exceptions.

Wow, nice video. I'm designing a template and I believe people with Excel 2019 and earlier version will use it. I want to spill the values just like the way 365 version does it. How do I do that without an error? Using CSE (Ctrl + Shift + Enter) gets rid of the error sometimes, but it only display just the first value.

Thank you! In earlier versions of Excel you can select all the cells you want the formula to 'spill' to before entering the formula and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. Wrap the formula in IFERROR to hide any errors.

Hi Mynda, thanks for sharing. Another great lesson as always! I do have a question though: for the last example before the common errors, is there a benefit to using offset to do this over just making the data an Excel table to keep the ranges dynamic? I learned to love using tables from some of your other lessons, so I'm just curious how using offset for that would compare.
@MyOnlineTrainingHub
@MyOnlineTrainingHub 2 жыл бұрын
If your chart data is in an Excel Table then you don't need this technique. However, quite often the chart source data is generated by formulas or a PivotTable that summarise data contained in the Excel Table, so the Table itself isn't able to be referenced directly by the chart. e.g.: building regular charts from PivotTables: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9x_pL1z0qi2n6c.html

-VE value for going LEFT and +VE for going RIGHT is easily understood, but for a long time, I cant brain "-VE value for going UP" and "+VE for going DOWN" (unlike a Cartesian plane). But I guess it has to be so since all sheets start from upper left corner, going right and down is a entropic certainty.

I've never worked with Cartesian planes, so this has never been a problem for me, but I can see how it would be confusing.
