How can I reference a worksheet tab in a formula, so that it always refers to
the previous tab in a workbook, such as a formula in Tab 3 needs info from
the same cell in Tab 2 in order to keep track of balances. When I copy and
paste the spreadsheets into a new worksheet it keeps the reference that was
in the original worksheet.
