Hi Everyone and thank you in advance for your help.

I have this complex (for me) formula on a large spreadsheet. As part of the process I must create copies of the spreadsheet with only the rows that meet "manager" as criteria.
This means I'm often deleting the first row of data which then results in a #Ref error in formula in below in the area I've made bold.

=IFERROR(IF(J142="","",INDEX($A$2:$A$126,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($N$2:$N$126)-ROW($N$2)+1)/($N$2:$N$126=L142),COUNTIF($L$142:L142,L142))))," ")

I know I can use OFFSET but I'm not sure how or where to apply it in this particular formula. Or if it will work in this formula.

Any assistance is very appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to the board

Instead of

... ,(ROW($N$2:$N$126)-ROW($N$2)+1)/ ...

try

... ,(ROW($N$2:$N$126)-MIN(ROW($N$2:$N$126))+1)/ ...

Thank you so much PGC. The change works perfectly. And now I have something new to learn about; the MIN function. I've been researching for days and never came across this as a possible solution. So I can't tell you how much your quick response means to me. Thanks again! :grin:
