- In this worksheet called OFFSET,…imagine that we always want to see…the last reporting date in cell D2.…So looking in column A,…right now this would be October 16th.…The latest closing rate, that's gonna be 259…but we want this to always be up to date…even as we add more data in columns A and B.…That could get quite deep…in this particular worksheet.…The function we will be using is called OFFSET…and that probably sounds like an idea that says…we're gonna move away from a certain cell an offset.…
Off to the side, down below, something like that.…Before we use this, I want to alert you to…or remind you of another function…you might be familiar with called COUNTA.…This simply counts the number of cells in a range…and if I click on column A,…you can see at a glance there are…10 cells that have data there.…That's it, 10.…It's going to come in handy.…What I'm going to do here is double click this…and put a space in front of it…and just leave it here as a reminder.…We'll be using the OFFSET function in cell D2.…
We begin with our reference point.…
