Default True Absolute Reference

Hi,

When I insert columns I have to redo all my formulas. I understand
you can use indirect but I don't think it will work.

My formula is a simple =$E$20-$G$20, when I insert two columns it
becomes =$G$20-$I$20. How do I force it to keep the original cell
addresses?

Many thanks!

INDIRECT will work:

=INDIRECT("E20")-INDIRECT("G20")
