copying relative reference across worksheets
I want to set up a financial report with a separate worksheet for each month.
I will have column of receipts & expenses for the month and columns of receipts & expenses for YTD. The YTD will be computed by adding this months entry to the total from the previous month. When I copy the formulas they copy as an absolute reference so always refer to January. I could do this with Quattro but haven't found how to do it with Excel. |

If you're willing to use a User Defined Function this becomes quite
easy....... Function PrevSheet(rg As Range) n = Application.Caller.Parent.Index If n = 1 Then PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrRef) ElseIf TypeName(Sheets(n - 1)) = "Chart" Then PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrNA) Else PrevSheet = Sheets(n - 1).Range(rg.Address).Value End If End Function Example of use...................... Say you have 12 sheets, sheet1 through sheet12...........sheet names don't matter. In sheet1 you have a formula in A10 =SUM(A1:A9) Select second sheet and SHIFT + Click last sheet In active sheet A10 enter =SUM(PrevSheet(A10),A1:A9) Ungroup the sheets. Each A10 will have the sum of the previous sheet's A10 plus the sum of the current sheet's A1:A9 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 1 Apr 2009 11:02:15 -0700, MrPhysics wrote: I want to set up a financial report with a separate worksheet for each month.
