    cell reference moves when data table updates

    Hi

    I have a data tabel in Sheet 1 & Sheet 2

    In sheet 3 they are combined via reference in order for me to do calculation in the input - They are combined in sheet3 as the columns are not identical.

    Because the data-tables will be updated via sharepoint, i have to link to cells beneath the data-tables as i expect these will be fill out when the tables update.

    My problem is that when the tables update, i dont see the updates in my "combination" sheet. it appears the the data tables add a new line, which moves my cell reference 1 line down.
    Ex: Had a reference in Sheet1'E3 - after the data table updates the reference is now Sheet1'E4.

    Does anyone one have an easy fix for this problem.

    Thx in advance

    You could perhaps try:

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$E:$E, ROW())
