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.

=INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(ROWS($A$1:A1),"000")&"'!I46")


copied down will do what you want

Peo.

Didn't work. I have numerous tabs "001", "002", "003" etc and on each one of
them in column L and Row 46 I have information I want to transfer to column I
on my main page "Mike". When I fill in the equation down I want the row and
column part to remain and change the page number each time. Any other ideas?

Try it! The only thing that changes is the sheet name

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

I posted the same answer yesterday to the same OP and also didn't think about
more than 10 sheets.

Wonder if OP ran into a problem and re-posted rather than staying in the same
thread?

Gord...I couldn't find my old thread, having a little email problems at the
office. Still can't get this equation to work though.

Max-

It's not working...your equation is changing the "A1" to "A2" etc... when I
want the rows and columns to remain the same and just change the tab/sheet
number. from 001 to 002 to 003 etc... Anymore suggestions?

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.

may seem like an odd question but do you have <tools<options<calculations
set to automatic.
if it is set to manual, when you drag the equation down, it will have the
answer from just the first cell in all of the others, until you tell it to
calculate.
the suggestions people have been giving should be working.
