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.

Hi Farhad,
Can you please help me more on this? The data has to be copied thru a formula from a different sheet (sheet2) to sheet 1. 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 How do I incorporate in this formula =INDIRECT(CHAR(COLUMN()*3+64)&34) Im trying in this way.. =INDIRECT(CHAR('Sheet2'!C34*3+64)&34) Please trying all the possible ways... please tell me where i'm going wrong Thanks in advance Sasikiran "Farhad" wrote: Hi, a small correction: =INDIRECT(CHAR(COLUMN()*3+64)&34) enter this formula in the cell A1 and then copy drag it to B, C, D, .....

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?

Welcome! but the important point was 64+COLUMN()*3 which Don Guillett solved
it. Thank you Don for your solution! Thanks, -- Farhad Hodjat "Sasikiran" wrote: Thanks a ton Farhad... its working fine now..
