I'm daft. I don't understand how to use indirect. At the point that you
insert "month(now()))" what does that mean? Would I actually type in, for
example, May 2009, and then now, and don't get it. Can you help me with that
too.

Thanks

Oh! OK.. Then

=Indirect("1991ABC$L$26"&month(now()))

Would return the value in 1991ABC$L$265 so.. if you wanted 268 instead, just
make it
=Indirect("1991ABC$L$26"&month(now())+3)

That won't work as the destination cell remains the same from month to month

I presume your destination data is straight down the row.

In that case, delete the $ prior to your row number, and the row number will
automatically increase as you go down your rows.

I produce a monthly report on investments where the ending balance of an
account is reported in one column and the interest earned is reported in
another column. The data for this report comes from another workbook, so
each entry is linked to this other workbook. Since I produce this report
monthly, I would like to be able to update those links automatically rather
than manually. For example, in month 1, the link would be 1991ABC$L$268. In
month 2 the link would need to be udpated to 1991ABC$L$269, month 3
1991ABC$L$270, etc.
