+ <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id901682701069280">INDEX() returns a reference if the argument is one or more references. When used in a cell in the form =INDEX(), the reference is resolved and the values displayed. When INDEX() is used in arguments of other functions, =FUNCTION(INDEX()...), the function gets the reference passed that was returned by INDEX(). Returning a reference is different from returning an array of values for functions that handles them differently.</paragraph>
