How do I drag formulas so cells stay the same but sheets change?
 
I am trying to drag across a formula that will pick up a particular cell from
a worksheets but that will change on the following column to pick up the same
cell but the next worksheet. I have inserted the $ signs so the cells stay
the same but the sheets wont change.
Eg first formula ='Nov 07'!$AX$4 and I want to be able to drag across so the
next formula will be -'Dec 07'!$AX$4'

If, for example, the formula will be entered in B2 and copied across,
try...

=INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(DATE(2007,11+COLUMNS($B2:B2)-1,1),"mmm yy")&"'!
AX4")

Hope this helps!
