    Numbers in formulas keep changing

    Hi. I have set up a spreadsheet with a lot of formulas in it. I find that sometimes on opening the spreadsheet, the figures in some of the formulas have changed. For example:
    =COUNTIF(Pre_implementation!$P$2:$P$200,"Apple")+COUNTIF(Implementation!$P$2:$P$200,"Apple")+COUNTIF(Completed!$P$2:$P$200,"Apple") becomes
    =COUNTIF(Pre_implementation!$P$3:$P$201,"Apple")+COUNTIF(Implementation!$P$4:$P$202,"Apple")+COUNTIF(Completed!$P$2:$P$200,"Apple")

    Is this to do with me deleting lines from the pages the formula is counting from? And how can I set it up so that the figures don't change (ie. I always want it to count from rows 2 to 200). Thanks alot.

    maybe

    =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"Pre_implementation!$P$2:$P$200"),"Apple")+COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"Pre_implementation!$P$2:$P$200"),"Apple")+COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"Pre_implementation!$P$2:$P$200"),"Apple")

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Try this...

    =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Pre_implementation!P2:P200"),"Apple")+COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Implementation!P2:P200"),"Apple")+COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Completed!P2:P200"),"Apple")
