Formula Transpose
 

In Excel2000, I have the following formula in cell b2...

=+'[08 Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U$101

I would like to copy this across the row so that cell b3 reads

=+'[08 Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U$102

and b4 =

=+'[08 Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U$103 and so on.

Is there some formula that I can use to do this so I don't have to
edit each cell?

THanks

Well if you copy from B2 to B3 and B4 you will get exactly what you ask for
if you omit the $ in front of the row number
(so ='[08 Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U101 will become ='[08
Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U102 and then ...103) [note that you don't need
the + sign after the = in the formula], but as you talk of copying across a
row, you may intend to copy from B2 to C2 and D2?
If so, try =OFFSET($U$101,COLUMN()-COLUMN($B2),0)
--

You could try something like this:

=INDIRECT("'[08 Expenses.xls]Facilities'!$U$"&100+COLUMN(A1))

in B2, then copy across.

INDIRECT will only work with open workbooks, so you will need to
ensure that the file "08 Expenses.xls" is open for this to work.

Hope this helps.
