Bob,

A1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW())/2)+2,3,1)
C1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+2,5,1)
F1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,9,1)
G1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,10,1)
H1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,17,1)
I1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,19,1)
J1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,20,1)
C2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,6,1)
D2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,7,1)
E2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,8,1)

Then copy A1:J2 and paste down to A3:J8:18.... At least, I think.. The above should at least help
you with the pattern that you want...

This is the formula that I came up with following your example. A little different but got me on
the righ path.
This displays in the final worksheet from A1 to J1 data and then goes down one line and enters
data from col 6-7-&8 from the data sheet and places it in row 2 on the final worksheet.

Now is there a way to have this formual in rows 1 and 2 and then make them selfupdating so that
when I paste it into Rows 3 and 4 the data from row 2 on the data source will be displayed and so
on and so on???

I've tried to add 1+1 like your original assistance suggested but I would have to go through that
for each one and very time consuming. I would like to have it update automatically as I paste it.
Hope this is clear enough.

In cell A1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,2,3,1) --
In cell C1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,2,5,1) --
In Cell F1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,9,1) --
In Cell G1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,10,1) --
In Cell H1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,17,1) --
Inc Cell I1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,19,1) --
In Cell J1 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,20,1) --
In Cell C2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,6,1) --
In Cell D2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,7,1) --
In Cell E2 =INDEX('DataSheet & Calcs'!$A$13:$T$422,1,8,1)

Thanks so much.

Bob,

Something is wrong about your description. If you are actually using two columns to display each
of the rows from your table, you would have run out of columns (Excel only has 256 columns - so
you could only display 128 sets of data). I think you mean that you have three columns, using
two rows to show each of the rows from your table.

If that is the case, put this into cell A1:

=INDEX('#1workbook'!$A$1:$F$400,INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2)+1,MOD((ROW()-ROW($A$1)),2)*3+COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$1)+1)

and copy to B1:C1, then copy A1:C1 down as far as you need.

If I'm wrong (which I am often) put this formula into cell A1

=INDEX('#1workbook'!$A$1:$F$400,INT((COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$1))/2)+1,MOD((COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$1)),2)*3+ROW()-ROW($A$1)+1)

and copy to A2:A3, then copy A1:A3 across until you run out of columns.

Hello, I am in Excel 2003 and have a worksheet consisting of data in row 1 and row 2 that go
together. An example would be
A1 (employee name) A2 (Employee address A3 (Employee city/state/zip)
B1 (employee SSN) B2 (Wages owed to employee) B3 (Interest owed to employee)

Each of these cells are linked to another worksheet that the data is entered into but each
person only has one row of data. The worksheet that I'm working in is a protected worksheet
where it retrieves this data from the worksheet and displays it in a report view.

My problem: I have space for 134 names now (total 268 rows as two rows are used for one
employee) and need to add 166 additional names to the worksheet. That means 332 rows that have
formulas increasing the link to worksheet 1 by 1.

Example: a1 (=#1workbook!A1) a2 ((=#1workbook!A2) a3 (=#1workbook!A3) b1 (=#1workbook!A4)
b2(=#1workbook!A5) b3(=#1workbook!A6) ** next group
c1 (=#1workbook!b1) c2 ((=#1workbook!b2) c3 (=#1workbook!b3) d1
(=#1workbook!b4) d2(=#1workbook!b5) d3(=#1workbook!b6) and continues on.

Can anyone help me with a macro to add copy the values in the last example in both rows and
paste them with an automatic increase of the values by one....

I have the worksheet unprotected and for some reason can't get the paste function to work either
by keyboard or by pull down, any ideas on this????

Hope this is clear enough if not let me know and thanks in advance
