Additional Notes:
- Note that OFFSET is a volatile function, which recalculate whenever the excel workbook is open or whenever a calculation is triggered in the worksheet. This could add to the processing time and slow down your workbook.
- If the height or width value is omitted, it is taken as that of the reference.
- If rows and cols are negative numbers then the offset direction is reversed.
