formula array in a macro
Hi I have two problems
Number 1 I have the following formula in my workbook [on sheet3] and I need to copy the formula down, which is fine for the absolute address of individual cells, however my problem is I need the formula to ref to the next sheet when I copy it down. I wondered if there could be a simpler method by using a formula macro. =CONCATENATE(B3," ",'S1'!$E$5," ","He/She"," ",'S1'!$E$12," and ",'S1'!$E$19,".") Problem number 2 I would like to concatenate he/she into the formula based on a whether a student is male or female. Is this possible? Kind Regards Tanya |

Tanya,
The INDIRECT function does what you want. Put the sheet names in a separate column, so when you copy down, the next formula picks up the next sheet name. For example, with sheet names in column A, C3 contains =CONCATENATE(B3," ",INDIRECT(A3&"!E5")," ",INDIRECT(A3&"!E12")," ",INDIRECT(A3&"!E19"),".") The cell addresses do not need the absolute form $E$5 because they are text and won't increment with copy down. Unless I already have a comma-separated list to put into CONCATENATE, I prefer the concatenate operator over the function (it just seems like less typing!): C3 contains =B3&" "&INDIRECT(A3&"!E5")&" "&INDIRECT(A3&"!E12")&" "&INDIRECT(A3&"!E19")&"." If sheet names contain spaces, then the column A values must be surrounded with apostrophes: C3 contains =B3&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!E5")&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'! E12")&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!E19")&"." Problem 2 If column L has something that indicates male or female then C3 formula is B3&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!E5")&" "&IF(L3="male","he","she")&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!E12")&" "&INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!E19")&"."

Thank you Sooo much, I have not heard of the INDIRECT function before and I
had seen the '&' used in place of concatenate but hadn't realised how it can save so much typing. I am still tinkering with your solution to problem 2, it just won't accept the value 'M' or 'male'. I will look at it again tomorrow night and will get back to you. Again THANK YOU. Regards Tanya "Carl Hartness" wrote: Tanya, The INDIRECT function does what you want.

Carl I finally managed to get back to the problem and you have again been
very helpful with problem number two. Thank You!! Tanya "Carl Hartness" wrote: Tanya, The INDIRECT function does what you want.
