Hello,
First sorry for wasting valuable space here on support forum for questions likes this. I have just found out about spreadsheets and if I liked Sierra before I like it even more now.
Read the documentation and followed it but receive #VALUE! error when trying to get the first 5 items in a specific column.

Everything I have tried gives me #VALUE! error. Why I really donĀ“t know.

Tried this:
=ID1.SG4@3:ID1.SG4@7


And this:
=OFFSET(ID1.SG4@3, 0, 0, 5, 1)

And this:
=AD3:AD7

But I always get #VALUE! "error".

What am I doing wrong?

And what do you want to do with those first 5 items?

For example, you would want to use a formula like this:

=SUM(ID0.SG4@3:ID0.SG4@7)

Greetings,

I only want x amount of first cells in a column without any built in function.

Reason is, since I have 5 different charts in chartbook with spreadsheet study. I get 5 sheets which is wonderful. However I will create a new blank sheet and then use reference to the other 5 with sheetname! but I want only top 5 cells of a specific column.

Possible?

#### EDIT ####

Think I have found a work around by copy first formula and then paste it underneath the first one and then do this 5 times.
=Sheet1!ID0.SG1@3

Did not realize the row ID changes automatically when pasting, great indeed!

Once again I must praise the programmers who are involved in this magical software. You surprise me each day of how well designed and how powerful it really is.
