Okay folks,
This is tearing me apart: I am trying to put my 'engine - the thing that does al the calculations' into a separate worksheet. I have fairly advanced formulas, so i will illustrate my problem with a short example: This is the input in worksheet 1 (saved as worksheet1.xls): A B C D E (SUM) 1 25 54 79 2 46 87 34 163 3 67 44 33 143 This is the 'engine' (saved as worksheet2.xls): =worksheet1.xls!A1+B1+C1+D1 (aka named formula "TestFormula") If i go to my worksheet1.xls, and i refer to "worksheet2.xls!TestFormula", it gives me the correct values in cell A1, but if I try to copy the formula downwards, it doesnt work anymo so cell A2 would give me the result in A1.... Instead of refering to the values of A2+B2+C2+D2, it keeps on using the formula as the is noted in worksheet2.xls. Is there any way to circumvend this kind of behaviour with parameters or something likewise? Or an easier way. I am aware i could copy the entire range into worksheet1.xls, give it names, and use the names eventually in worksheet1.xls. But this is just what i would like to avoid, i am trying to keep everything as compact as possible. |
