Cell Absolute $ References Keep Changing themselves
Data is imported to a sheet labeled "summary" from a sheet labeled "detail".
(Particular cells will sum all of the rows containing dates that fall between a particular week - this works fine.) My problem is that whenever I update the "detail" sheet, the cell references that point to a particular data range always change themselves, on both the "detail" and "summary" sheets. For instance, as soon as I update the values on my "detail" sheet, (all values are a data query imported from a Peach Tree Excel Export file - this works fine), a cell refering to "$L$5:$L$1000" will change to "$L:$4:$L$992" for no reason (it seems). This can result in a VALUE error. I want to stop this from happening, can I do this, or is there a better way to do one of the things I mentioned above? (I need the data to flow in a chain because it gets manipulated between the PeachTree Excel export file and the "summary" sheet. This is what the "detail" sheet is for: give each row an additional value of "reimbursable" or "non-reimbursable" from a drop down list.) Thank you for your time, Marc. |
