    Index formula returning wrong row refferences

    For some reason the Index formula is returning rows that are 2 rows off what they should be and I haven't been able to see where the problem lies.

    Columns R2 thru U18 are returning values 2 rows off what they should be and I have not had any success in tracking down the problem. I think need some more eyes to help.

    In R2 you have
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Task,$Q3,1),"")

    The named range Task refers to
    =Sheet3!$I$3:$L$18

    Q3 = 15

    The 15th Row in I3:L16 is 17

    row3 is the 1st row in I3:L18
    row4 is the 2nd row in I3:L18
    etc..
    row 17 is the 15th row in I3:L18

    The Row/Column Index #s in INDEX are NOT strictly row/column numbers.
    They are POSITION #s, relative to the referenced Range.

    Change the named range to
    =Sheet3!$I$1:$L$18
    or Subtract 2 from Q3
