I've attached an example of the file I'm working on.
I would like to keep the data in a separate file. But, offset formulas don't work if the data source is not open on your computer.

I'm using the offset formula because I need to use both Row and Column references to find the data I need in the report.

Is there another formula, or another method, I can use that would allow me to keep the data in a separate file?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
