    Formulas disappear/Change when parameter changes

    We have an excel query that runs off of a parameter. There are formulas in cells that work off of this refreshable data. When the parameter is cleared data and formulas on the sheet disappear. Which is what we want. When a new parameter is entered, the formulas change. For example our data starts on row 8. If the previous data set ended on row 10. We clear the parameter and put a new parameter in, the formulas on row 8 which should look for data on the same row will look for data on row 10. They then copy down right looking at 11, 12 etc but they are not looking at the right data.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Can you share the formula, or a desensitized copy of the spreadsheet?

    Attached. I have removed all of the sheets because the files were too large. The first one is with a parameter, 2nd is after you clear the parameter and 3rd is with a new parameter.

    It's very difficult to see what exactly you are trying to achieve, can you clarify exactly where the problem is, or which formula is not functioning properly? The example files you have posted are difficult to understand, especially when most of the formulas are showing #REF errors.

    If the file is too big up upload as is, create a smaller example sheet with only a few rows of sample data, with a before and after of what you are trying to do.

    Thats the issue the I can not replicate it and send it because it uses a lot of sql connections. Not sure of any other way to share the files.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
