Absolute Formula Help
 

A1 on Sheet2 =Sheet1!A1

I am trying to make this formula absolute, so if I were to move,cut, or copy
A1 on Sheet1, then A1 on Sheet2 will display what ever is in A1 on Sheet1.
For some reason it keeps changing them every time I cut and paste A1 on
Sheet1 to where ever. I've tried all these ($A$1, $A1, A$1, $A1) and nothing
works? Can anyone Help? Thanks.

Hi,

Try the following formula in A1 of Sheet2.

=INDIRECT("Sheet1!A1")

There could be one problem though. If A1 of Sheet1 is blank, the formula
will return zero in A1 of Sheet2.

Now im in the same sheet and having indirect issues.

Please correct this formula for me.

M20 equals...
=IF(INDIRECTJ20<0,SUM(INDIRECTL20-INDIRECTJ20)/INDIRECTL20,"")

when I cut/paste prices from J20 and L20, i get REF or NAME
i need M20 to calculate the GM% formula regardless of what is enter or done
to J20 & L20
