    In I15 on the February sheet:

    =Jan!R15-Jan!T15

    Or do you mean something more dynamic???

    Then put the formula into that cell, or put the formula in I15 and in J15 put this:

    =I15

    I have unmarked this as solved is it fair to ask a followup ?, How would you make this more dynamic? as I do have 12 sheets and they ref. the previous sheet, except for sheet 1 of course

    not a way for excel to have a formula in a cell and send the result to another cell?
