Dragging a formula with cell references
Hello,
I have a problem while dragging the formula to the next cells. The formula in A1 of sheet 1 is ='Sheet2'!C34 The formula in B1 of sheet 1 is ='Sheet2'!F34 The formula in C1 of sheet 1 is ='Sheet2'!I34 Here while dragging the formula, the next cell has to take the value of the same row (34) of every third column C, F, I, L... so on. But while dragging its not coming the same way. Can anyone suggest me how to do that? Thanks in advance Sasikiran |

Dragging a formula with cell references
hi,
if i understand you.... you might try using absolute references instead of relative references. example... instead of ....sheet2!C34...... Use..............Sheet2!$C$34..... Read up on absolute vs.relative references in xl help. Regards FSt1 "Sasikiran" wrote: Hello, I have a problem while dragging the formula to the next cells.

Dragging a formula with cell references
Hi,
The formula that i correct for you works just to column Z and if you have more column so you have to expand the formula as below: =INDIRECT(IF(64+COLUMN()*390,IF(64+COLUMN()*3-2690,"'Sheet2'!B"&CHAR(64+COLUMN()*3-52),"'Sheet2'!A"&CHAR(64+COLUMN()*3-26)),"'Sheet2'!"&CHAR(64+COLUMN()*3))&34) so this formula works till column BZ Thanks, -- Farhad Hodjat "Sasikiran" wrote: Hi Farhad, Can you please help me more on this?
