    Anybody who used ANY library to process xslx knows MS keeps changing it :-) About ranges… can you give me the range for whole columns minus 6 first records and 9 last records?

      I highly doubt that, also, people in corporate finance do not use libraries to process excel files.

      About ranges… can you give me the range for whole columns minus 6 first records and 9 last records?

      =OFFSET(first_cell, 7, COLUMNS(range_name), ROWS(range_name)-9-7) where range_name is the label given to the whole table and first_cell is its first cell.

        Such a weird argument that you’ve responding to, as the answer (as you provided) is so easy and well known.

      Would you like this in excel formula, VBA, or python?

      It can be done in all. You’re only proving the other poster’s point. Excel isn’t necessarily the best option for tech literate people but given the tech illiteracy of many offices, it isn’t surprising they use excel for stuff like this.
