Hi John , .. .

If you are copying down to a list of values, why not just use the vlookup
function. This will enable you to match you text from any workbook.

Please let me know whether this helps you or not. . . . .. ..

I have the following 3 formulas in rows 3-5

=INDEX(Master!$A$16:$C$43,MATCH(B9,Master!$A$16:$A $43,),MATCH("Subacc",Maste
r!$A$16:$C$16,))
=INDEX(Master!$A$16:$C$43,MATCH(B9,Master!$A$16:$A $43,),MATCH("Subacc",Maste
r!$A$16:$C$16,))
=INDEX(Master!$A$16:$C$43,MATCH(B9,Master!$A$16:$A $43,),MATCH("Subacc",Maste
r!$A$16:$C$16,))

I wish to copy them down to rows 6-8 so that the "B9" within them changes to
"B10". Currently if I just copy and Paste it changes to "B12". I'm sure its
a Offset formula I need but I can't figure it out. I have 400 rows in total
to copy down, so changing it manually would be a big effort

Thanks
