Example 3
Continuing with the same example, suppose we want the sum total of the
earnings for Week 3. We use the formula =SUM(OFFSET(G6,1,-2,5)).
We get the results below:
In the example above:
1. The array of values returned by the OFFSET function is directly entered into
the SUM function, which returns a single value. Hence, we do not need it to
enter as an array formula.
2. The height of the offset range is greater than the height of the reference
range and so the [height] argument is entered as the value 5.
3. The width of the offset range is the same as the width of the reference
range and so the [width] argument was omitted from the function.
