The formula =OFFSET(A1;1;0;1;$A$1) is returning the value of the first cell in the range. The result would be the same if you omitted the last two parameters. The first parameter is the name of the cell from which the offset is taken. The next adds one row and the next adds zero columns. The fourth parameter is the number of rows and the last is the number of columns.

I never saw the function offset in this use, that opens new views for me,
its great.
But I do not really understand it.
When I write the function OFFSET(A1;1;0;1;$A$1) alone, it provides a value,
in the actual example it's allways 2.
But SUM(2) would not be, what we look for.
I see, that your formula works, but I don't know why.
