Hello,

I calculated the location of a cell (Acc!BB2). On my output sheet I want to drag the vertical data of this cell just by referring to the reference cell through an indirect function. However, when dragging I only receive the data where the reference cell was calculated but not of the location itself.

cell referenceformulaoutput
Acc!BB2=indirect(a2)2
#ref!=indirect(a3)#ref!
..........

<tbody>
</tbody>

How can I construct a formula that drags the reference of an indirect function but not of its location?

Many thanks,
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
that means you want Acc!BB3 then Acc!BB4 and so on......
assuming we have the cell reference in cell A1, use the following formula
=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A$1,2,ROW(A3)))
now see what it does--
in cell A1 it will substitute 2 by ROW(A3) which is 3
so it will become Acc!BB3 and then it will give us the indirect of Acc!BB3
when we will copy it down it will replace 2 by Row(A4) which is 4 so it will become Acc!BB4 and so on
Hope it helped!!!
Ask for any help
Thanks :)
