Formula that references another reference
I have tables that are subsets of a much larger table. However, one of the
subset tables, main subset table, is a point of reference for all other subsets. For example, the larger table is located @ A1:D10. The main subset table has cell formulas that point to the data in A1, A2, and A3, (i.e. the formula in the upperleft row/col of the table =A1). Now, I would like to have a 2nd table that uses cell formulas to fill in the table, but referenced from the formulas in the main subset table. For example, the formula in the upperleft row/col of the new table should refer to the forumla in the upperleft row/col of the main subset table, not the value in the main subset table. For example, if the formula in the main subset upperleft row/col =A1, then I want the forumla in the upperleft row/col to =A1. Furthermore, I don't want the formula in the new table to always equal the formula in the subset table, but use it as a point of reference. For example, I may want the formula in the upperleft row/col not =A1, but maybe A1 + X or -X, where X can be a row or col offset. Wew, sorry for the core dump. Any suggestions?. |

Best help I can offer at this point is to recommend that you read Excel Help
on core dump<g Oops, should have said OFFSET and INDIRECT. I think they may hold some hope for fulfilling your needs. "F3DB" wrote: I have tables that are subsets of a much larger table.
