    Change referencing these to referencing those by changing this.

    Hello

    I'm trying to figure out how have cells reference other cells and quickly change them all. I have an excel workbook which is going to easily have over 200 sheets (one for each piece of equipment) One sheet will have all the information on and will be called Asset Register. A second will have a "map" of where everything is which then hyperlinks to the individual sheets of each piece equipment. Each equipment sheet will then have some information from the asset register sheet.

    Equipment Name
    Asset Number
    Location
    Tool Number

    So for example

    Equipment Name will be =Asset_Register!G3
    Asset Number will be =Asset_Register!A3
    Location Will be =Asset_Register!C3
    Tool Number will be =Asset_Register!D3

    The next tool will be the same but G7, A7 and so on. Is there a way I can have another cell that just has a 3 or a 7 in it and use that to change which cell is referenced to? Just so they can be very quickly altered. Please let me know if this needs clarification.

    TIA

    Bob

    Hello

    I feel like I'm onto something using the indirect function but I'm still unsure of how to narrow down all four changes to one cell.

    Thanks again

    Bob

    If you could provide a small sample of the Asset Register along with a couple of equipment sheets, we might be able to help.
    To attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy) click on the GO ADVANCED button below the Quick Reply window and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window. Make sure there is enough data to demonstrate your need and remember to desensitize the data.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
