Date + relative number reference
Hi all
I have a spreadsheet with dates in row 3 going from today till the end of the year i.e 26/apr/2010 In row 16 directly below the date i have a number i.e. 12 What i would like to do is: on another sheet, reference todays date i.e. 26/apr/2010 and display the number 12, but i would like this to happen when the user opens the sheet automatically In summary, tomorrow the 27/apr/2010 i would like the formula to look at todays date and then display the numer that is 13 rows directly below it Is this possible? Thanks you for your help Derek |

Hi Derek
Try the below. Adjust the sheet name to suit =INDEX(Sheet1!16:16,MATCH(TODAY(),Sheet1!3:3,0)) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "Derek M" wrote: Hi all I have a spreadsheet with dates in row 3 going from today till the end of the year i.e 26/apr/2010 In row 16 directly below the date i have a number i.e. 12 What i would like to do is: on another sheet, reference todays date i.e. 26/apr/2010 and display the number 12, but i would like this to happen when the user opens the sheet automatically In summary, tomorrow the 27/apr/2010 i would like the formula to look at todays date and then display the numer that is 13 rows directly below it Is this possible?
