Hi JoshL,
What you are looking for is the dollar symbol.
When you place it in front of a column letter, dragging that cell horizontally won't change the column letter.
Placing it in front of a row number, dragging that cell vertically won't change the row number.
You can also place it in front of both column letter and row number to lock the cell reference completely.
When placing your cursor in the middle of a cell reference (or multiple / all) of your formula, hitting F4 will cycle through all the variations.
In short, your formula would look like this:
=IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$3,Sheet2!L$3,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$4,Sheet2!L$4,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$5,Sheet2!L$5,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$6,Sheet2!L$6,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$7,Sheet2!L$7,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$8,Sheet2!L$8,IF(AP2=Sheet2!K$9,Sheet2!L$9,)))))))
Best regards,
Trowa
