INDIRECT FUNCTION - I want to freeze reference when inserting rows
Hi folks,
I have a named range from Cell A2 to Cell A101 in a workbook. This is entered in the Define Name - Refers To box as: = INDIRECT(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$101) When I insert rows in row 2, my references steadily change to $A$3:$A$102 then $A$4:$A$103 an so on. I need my references to stay the same when rows are inserted. IM GOING INSANE WITH THIS! Please help!!!! |

INDIRECT FUNCTION - I want to freeze reference when inserting rows
Hi Dim,
This is a rather unusual use of INDIRECT but if that's what you want, try this: =INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$1:"&Sheet1!$A$11) I'm assuming you want the A10 part to become A11, if not =INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10") -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "dim" wrote: Hi folks, I have a named range from Cell A2 to Cell A101 in a workbook.

INDIRECT FUNCTION - I want to freeze reference when inserting
Hi Shane,
Thanks. I'll try that ASAP. I do NOT want any part of it to change. I want $A$2:$A$101 to stay EXACTLY the same regardless of rows inserted into Row 2. I dont want particularly to use INDIRECT. I dont care what I use, I just want the references to STAY THE SAME when rows are inserted! Thanks, I'll see if that works and get back. |
