How do I use cell reference instead of name in a formula?
I have a spreadsheet I am using for financial statements. In one area, I have
to create sub-totals based on the rows above.
The problem is that some of the cells are set up as named ranges for use
elsewhere, and some are not. As a result, the formulas for my sub-totals
contain both names and cell references. When I try to copy these formulas to
adjacent cells for other months, some formula components change (eg. C35
becomes D35) while others don't (eg. Jan_Sales stays as Jan_Sales).
This makes a complicated edit, overly prone to errors. It is also not
something I am comfortable turning over to someone else to use on an ongoing
basis.
I could create names for the un-named cells, but this would result in a HUGE
number of names to set up. Is there any way to use the cell reference for the
named cells in the formulas I am creating?
