Default Forumla Help- Change Column value not row

This formula should work for you:

=INDIRECT("'AUT 150 MHz'!"&ADDRESS(9,ROW()+1))

This assumes your formula is placed in row 1 of your second sheet. If
you're starting in a different row, then adjust the ROW()+X portion
accordingly. Where X = the difference between the row number the formula is
in and 2. So if you start in row 15, you would use ROW()-13

In a column have the forumla
='AUT 150 MHz'!B9
I want to drag this down the column but have it change the source column not
row.
Example:
='AUT 150 MHz'!B9
drag down to get
='AUT 150 MHz'!C9
='AUT 150 MHz'!D9

What I am getting is
='AUT 150 MHz'!B9
drag down I get
='AUT 150 MHz'!B10
='AUT 150 MHz'!B11

Thanks



I believe what you need to do is lock the reference to the row by
adding the $ in front of it, that way when you drag down, it stays
consistent. Remember, when you lock a reference by hitting F4, it
locks row and column, but you don't have to stick to the default.

=Aut 150 MHZ!B$9 should do it for you.

if you need to extend the columns as well just fill the formula down,
select the column, do find replace $ with nothing, reselect the column
and drag/fill to your next column.


I hope that helps.
