    How to use OFFSET when the reference is a formula linked to another tab?

    Hi All,

    I have a formula that works perfectly...
    =MIN(IF('Main Log'!$D$4:$D$2000=$B4,IF('Main Log'!$O$4:$O$2000,"",'Main Log'!$E$4:$E$2000)))

    What this does is checks my 'Main log' to look for the instances where:
    - Appointment type matches what I've specified in B4 (in Column D)
    -The subsequent report has no completion date (in Column O)
    This cell now shows me the start date of this (from Column E) for the oldest case of this type with no completion date.

    Let's say I have this in J4 of my monitoring sheet. Now I want to show the name of this oldest case in J5, which can be found in Column G on my 'Main Log' (2 cells to the right of my start date).

    I need a formula for J5 that finds the information 2 cells to the right of what J4 has found.

    I tried a basic =OFFSET(J4,0,2) but this just uses the J4 cell as a starting point, rather than starting at the 'Main Log' location that J4's formula is returning.

    Please help someone!

    Thanks in advance, Steve
