Index use with areas

[charlie]

The example in HELP for Index shows the following:
=Sum(Index(A1:C11,0,3,1))... The sum actually adds up both area 1 and 2 and
not just column 3, area 1. What is the proper format to add up just column 3,
area 1?

=sum(C:C)

Surely in your formula you have only one area: A1:C11
For two areas you need something like INDEX((A1:B11, C1:C11),0,3,1))...
Your formula correctly summed column C for me

Works fine for me.

Also could use:

=SUM(INDEX(A1:C11,,3))

Thanks, defining both areas works fine... the sample in the help file is not
correct..
