    Question HELP! Refer to every 3rd Column on a different Sheet

    Hello. I've been digging around the internet for hours and can't seem to find a solution to my problem.

    I have a document with two sheets, one a master sheet and the second is a tally sheet.

    On the Tally sheet, I have a cell that is used to enter the date of the check being performed.

    Im trying to set up the Master Sheet to simply refer to the dates entered in Tally sheet and create it as a formula that I can drag to simplify the reference process.

    Currently on the Master, cell C1 refers to the Tally Sheet cell L1 to get the date. On the Master Sheet I then need cell D1 to refer to O1 on the other sheet- skipping every 3 columns. Thus E1=R1, F1=U1, etc.

    I've been trying different explanations I've found for similar tasks using =OFFSET and =INDEX functions, but I can't seem to make them apply to my situation. Seems like it should be fairly simple but I can't make it happen. Any ideas?

    Hi there,

    Give this a try by pasting it your master sheet C1 and drag right
