Formula that pulls from a specific row for each month & "locks" into that row for the month?

Apologies if this looks/sounds messy...

In the middle of my (probably unnecessarily complex/large) formula, I have this function: (OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))
As it stands, this will pull the value of the cell 2 rows from the top, in the same column as the current cell.
While this works great for the first "area" of data (January 2020 in this instance), if I copy it down into the sections for other months, it will continue to pull January data only.

I attached a fragment of the worksheet to this post for some visual assistance.

The type of formula I'm looking for, in words I can only hope I'm using correctly:
1) Would function similarly to what's currently there, but
2) Would allow for pasting down into other months
a) In the picture, the 39 & 134 are correct in the January area, but are incorrect for the February area, as February has not occurred yet. It is still pulling that 1/4/2020 date value from the 2nd row.
b) Using a different variation of OFFSET... allowed me to easily code the "future" months, but gave me issues when pasting down the line of the current month. As going from Row 6 to Row 7 would take the OFFSET cell's value a cell down.

Is there a different way to use OFFSET and ADDRESS that would allow me to "lock" that specific month row (rows 2 & 69 in the picture) in their respective months? (Instead of my -ROW()+2 formula).

If more of the formula is needed for clarity, let me know and I can post more.

The goal here is to create a formula I can use in each month's sections, and not having to create a different one for each month OR for each line (A,B,etc).

I appreciate any advice, tips, ideas.

Thank you for your time.

Do I need to do anything to mark as "solved"?
No, what you said earlier in your post is plenty. We don't mark threads as solved in this forum as it sometimes happens that an even better solution comes along later and we don't want to discourage that by marking a 'solved'.

BTW, you're welcome & thanks for the enthusiastic response. :)

Edit: Also, if you were able to replace all those OFFSET and INDIRECT functions, your worksheet should be more responsive speed-wise. (y)

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
That's my next goal with this formula: the replacement of the Offset/Indirects.

The first goal was to get something functional for my Operations team.
Up next is making it efficient.

Welp, that turned out to be a quicker fix than I anticipated...

Thanks to your help, this:
=IFERROR(IF(MONTH((OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))-7)=MONTH((OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,-22))),SUMIFS(INDEX('Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E:$KZ,MATCH($B6&P$5,'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$A:$A,0),0),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,"<="&(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0)),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,">"&(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))-6)),SUMIFS(INDEX('Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E:$KZ,MATCH($B6&P$5,'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$A:$A,0),0),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,"<="&((OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,">"&((OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))-DAY(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),-ROW()+2,0))+1)))

is now this:
=IF(MONTH(INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2)-7)=MONTH(INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2)),SUMIFS(INDEX('Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E:$KZ,MATCH($B7&P$6,'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$A:$A,0),0),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,"<="&(INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2)),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,">"&(INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2))-6),SUMIFS(INDEX('Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E:$KZ,MATCH($B7&P$6,'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$A:$A,0),0),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,"<="&((INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2))),'Daily Dashboard Datalink V2'!$E$2:$KZ$2,">"&((INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2))-DAY(INDEX(P$1:P6,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(P$1:P6)-ROW(P$1)+1)/(P$1:P6="Actual"),1)-2))+1)))

Hm, thought it would look shorter than that...
But regardless, all of the OFFSET & INDIRECT's have been replaced using your suggested INDEX & AGGREGATE formula.

Thank you again for this!

I haven't tried to follow that formula in detail but it certainly looks better without the OFFSETs and INDIRECTs. :)
