How can I change the tab but keep the row and column constant when filling in
equations? I'm orgainizing a excel spreadsheet in which I have many sheets/tabs in. I'm trying to put a formula in on my main page where I can get the data from many different sheets while keeping my column and row constant on each page. I'm trying to do this so I can drag this down and it will automatically switch pages and while keeping column and roc constant. Example, my main tab/sheet is labeled "MIKE" and I want to put information from many different tabs/sheets in column "I" on the main page. Right now I've got the formula ='001'!$l$46...and when I drag it down I want it to pick up sheet '002'!$l$46 for the next line, '003'!$l$46 for the line after...etc. Is there anyway I can do that?? If someone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate. |

Mike?,
If your sheet tabs are always three digit numbers, you could use, for example, this formula, entered into a cell I5: =INDIRECT(TEXT(ROW()-ROW($I$4),"000") & "!$I$46") Note that the cell reference (in this case $I$4) needs to be from the row just above the first instance of the formula.

How can I change the tab but keep the row and column constant
You don't seem to understand what the formula does, this part
ROWS($A$1:A1) should change it's because you want the sheet names to change to 002 (which would be ROWS($A$1:A2)) and so on, it obviously shouldn't return the sheet name but what is in I46 If it doesn't work then it is because you either have spaces in the sheet names, that you didn't explain in an understandable way what you wanted (note that all answers are basically the same so I am not the only way interpreting it this way) or you simply don't understand how to apply it correctly -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "MG" wrote in message ...

Peo,
Thanks I got it working now, what it was is that you thought it was I46 I wanted when it was L46...letter's just got confused when typing lower and upper cases.

How can I change the tab but keep the row and column constant
My suggestion is to not do this. Don't add an empty row.
If you want to make it look pretty, then just increase the rowheight so that it looks double spaced.

MG,
It depends on what you mean by "skip a row in between data"... Enter this in cell I5: =INDIRECT(TEXT((ROW()-ROW($I$4)-1)/2 +1,"000") & "!$L$46") Leave I6 blank. Then, select I5:I6, and copy. Select I7 down to I???, enough for 2 rows for each sheet, then paste. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "MG" wrote in message ...
