Opie,

The relative cell reference adjustment is useful when the referred cell is
in the table you're transposing. Unfortunately, the transpose command
adjusts it when the referred cell is external to the table, where you most
likely want the reference to remain to the same cell. You can get around
this with absolute references:

=......$A$3...... The F4 key is handy for changing to absolute. Do
this while you're editing the cell.

It will not change absolute references to referred cells outside the table,
but will change them for cells internal to the table. Probably the best for
most situations. If the cells are internal (unlikely, I think), probably
the only way is to use:

=.......INDIRECT("A3")......

when i copy formulas in a row, and transpose the copy, it changes the cell
references to other cells which needs to be the same as the source cells
