Thankyou so much for the replies. Your formula works great in the simple
example I presented you with. can we please now take it a step further.

Can the same formula be adapted to reference a cell on another worksheet? I
have tried but, as you can see by me posting, have had no success.

For ease lets call the worksheets Sheet1 and Sheet2.
I want A7 on sheet1 to read A1 on Sheet2 using the INDIRECT command, through
A8, A9, etc. Can this be done?

Copy and paste the below formula in A1 cell and drag it to the remaining
cells of Column A.

=INDIRECT("B"&ROW())

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!

I want to reference a cell no matter what happens to it.

Simple example:

From A1 down:
A1=B1
A2=B2
A3=B3

From B1 down:
5
10
15

If I cut and insert B3(15) into B2, the A column would then read as:

A1=B1
A2=B3
A3=B2

How do I keep the A column referencing the original cell?

Hehe, figured it out. =INDIRECT("Sheet2!A"&ROW(A1)) in Sheet1 A7, then copied
down.
Thankyou all for what you do here. Without your help a lot of people would
be lost.
