Alas, the formula copied and pasted exactly as written. Perhaps the problem
lies in that the sheet only needs to change every 4th cell, as opposed to
each next cell. All I know for sure is that this is a pain in my
hindquarters and I dread doing all of the formula edits, though I have
alerady started in the interest of just getting it done.

So what result do you get?
RD's formula will increment the sheet numbers by one for each row it is
copied down but
the cell will stay the same

This appeared to have no effect. It did not alter the sheet referred to
in
the formula, just copied exactly as it was.

In my formula, FP 1 (etc) is the sheet referred to, whereas the row and
column are constant. To make it more fun, since I am dealing in fiscal
periods the formula series repeats every fourth cell only, but with a new
sheet referral. I had taken the time to do this the tedious (and highly
inefficient) way about a year ago, then was an idiot and did not protect
the
formula cells thinking that the person using the workbook would have sense
enough to not type into those cells. Naive, naive, naive. Live and
learn.

You can try this:

=INDIRECT("'FP "&ROW(A1)&"'!I25")

And copy down as needed.

I am creating a data tracking workbook. Information is entered into
cells
on
different sheets, then the tallies are pulled to one easier to read
sheet.

In creating the tally sheet, I am setting the cell formulas. The cells
referred to are constant, only the sheet referred to changes. For
example,
the cell might read

='FP 1'!$I$25

and the next one should read

='FP 2'!$I$25

...and so on. I would like to be able to paste the formula and have
the
referred to sheet change so that I do not have to go through and make
hundreds of little changes. Any suggestions?
