Increment cell reference
=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$G5"),COLUMNS($A:$A))
How can I get the variable, "G5" to increment when copied across a row or down a column (i.e., $G5, $G6, $G7, etc) I've tried copy and then paste special, formula, but it doesn't increment. What should I be doing? Thanks Larry |
Increment cell reference
You have to move the 5 outside the quotes for it to increment, eg:
=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$G"&ROW(A5)),COLUMNS($A :$A)) as this is copied down then the ROW(A5) (returning 5) will become ROW(A6), ROW(A7), ROW(A8) etc, returning 6, 7, 8 etc Hope this helps.
