A function won't work.
Better would be to use the INDEX function, keyed to two cells: one for the base row, and one for
the increment.
For example, put 1035 into cell A1, 0 into cell A13, -5 into cell A14, 0 into cell L1, and a 4 into
cell W1. Then use this in L13
=INDEX(Data!$M:$M, $A$1 + L$1 + $A13)
and copy it to L14, and then copy both cells to W13:W14. You can extend this as far as you want,
inserting new values for the offset into column A...
