Hello,

I have
Sheet 1 & Sheet 2

Sheet 1 = contains a list of clients and the total of USD entered each day
Sheet 2 = contains the list of clients totaled USD for each day

My question is

='August 2010 '!C106

The above formula is from sheet 2 to take the information from sheet 1, my problem is, i want the formula to be as following

='August 2010 '!C106
='August 2010 '!D106
='August 2010 '!E106

but when i drag this formula, it gives me the following:

='August 2010 '!C106
='August 2010 '!C107
='August 2010 '!C108

PLEASE HELP! i have more than 5000 each day to change the total and it's killing me!

Im not that advanced in Excel.

You need to anchor the row by using $

='August 2010 '!C$106
That would solve the issue of row changing. For column changing, it seems that you are dragging down. For that you would need to indirectly get the column

Thanks, but when i did that i got the following:

='August 2010'!C$213
='August 2010'!C$213
='August 2010'!C$213

It did not change , but stayed the same!

As I mentioned, that only fixed your row issue that as you drag down, row remains constants. For changing column as you drag down, you have to use formula. or rather combination formula

=indirect(ADDRESS(106, 3, ,,"'August 2010'"))

In this you have to come up with formula that would change "3" as you drag down

Since you have not given where the formula is, lets say this formula is going on row 3

In that case you can use
=indirect(ADDRESS(106, ROW(), ,,"'August 2010'"))

Lets say that is its not on row 3 but rather row 1 then
=indirect(ADDRESS(106, ROW() + 2, ,,"'August 2010'"))
As you can see, adding 2 to still come up with column 3


Again you cannot possibly having 5000 columns in your workbook, so your question is half complete. But still you can use the above solution
