cell reference in a formula using 2 worksheets
 
Need help in getting formula in a seperate worksheet same workbook to stay
the same when I change the master work sheet.

Example

'yearly data'!N5 cell changes to 'yearly data'!N6 when I insert a line in
the master work sheet 'yearly data' I want the "'yearly data'!N5" to be
permanant no matter how many lines I insert into the "Yearly Data" worksheet.

Please advise.

If you mean that the reference in a link/formula changes and you don't want
it to change:

=INDIRECT("'yearly data'!N5")

Thank you, I think I understand it to mean I will need to put =INDIRECT in
every cell I want to stay without changing.
