    Re: HELP - Referencing cells from different sheets using fixed increment

    Thanks, I have attached a sample workbook.
    All of my data is in the 'Export Invoices' sheet and I want to mirror it to 'Sheet 1'.
    The items I am trying to mirror have been highlighted in red..
    I basically would like to input one row of data set (1 invoice) and be able to drag that formula down so that excel mirrors all my data from 'Export Invoices' to my summary table in 'Sheet 1'. The data repeats every 40 rows...
    Hope I explained my issue properly. Thanks fellas

    Hi,

    See attached where I've created a copy of Sheet1 and added the formulae.

    However note that your last invoice is not consistent with the others. This should start on row 161 (i.e. 40 rows on from the previous invoice) and not row 163.

    I obviously don't know precisely how you operate this system but if as I suspect you are using it to create invoices to issue can I suggest that you do it differently.
    Create a proper database of invoices and have a single row for every invoice, with each piece of data occupying a different column.

    Then create a template workbook in which you will manually enter a particular invoice number. The other cells in the Invoice template will all be VLOOKUP formulae which look up the relevant column from the new database.

    You'll simplify things immensely and moreover you've then got the basis for a Pivot Table where you can analyse your data in ways you've not even thought of yet.
