Explanation Needed With Formula Please?
So in a different post earlier, the solution was the following formula:
=INDEX(Sunday!$A:$L,QUOTIENT(ROW(C13)-14,31)+3,COLUMN(C13)-3) Can someone please explain to me what the red bold part means, so that I can adapt it to the workbook I am currently working on? Please and thank you! |

This post is asking to define what's highlighted. My other posts that are all linked properly are asking for solutions on how to achieve what I need. And for the record, I thought it worked but it didn't. Further down the copy down, I found duplicates and errors. So I am back to square one.

COLUMN(C13) returns the column number of cell C13, which is 3. Subtracting 3 from that gives you 0 and passing 0 as the column argument to INDEX gives you all the columns of the relevant row.
The QUOTIENT function returns the integer part of a division, ignoring any remainder. SO that part is taking the row number, subtracting 14, dividing by 31 and keeping the integer part. You then add 3 so the result here will never be less than 3. Other than the first block of 3s, you will get blocks of 31 of the same number - i.e. 31 4s followed by 31 5s and so on. |
