    Copying formula choices?

    Good Morning,

    I am trying to copy my formula down a column but excel is copying down instead of over.

    My first cell formula in the column is: =sum('OCT20:SEPT25'!B6:B44) I want to go down that column with this formula (it is a long column) so it should be

    =SUM('OCT20:SEPT25'!B6:B44)
    =SUM('OCT20:SEPT25'!C6:C44)
    =SUM('OCT20:SEPT25'!D6:D44)

    and so on with the last one being:

    =SUM('OCT20:SEPT25'!BU6:BU44)

    When I copy and paste the formula it goes from B6:B44 to B7:B45. How can I force it to copy they way I want it? I am hoping there is an answer that doesn't require me setting each formula manually.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think you need to fix the column with "$"
    =SUM('OCT20:SEPT25'!$B6:$B44)

    Maybe like that? It's hard to advise without seeing the file, or a sample of it...

    That doesn't seem to have worked. I have attached the Workbook. The tab I am trying to put the formulas in is "SeaFighterOH"

    =SUM(OFFSET(INDIRECT(*****worksheets name and ranges************),,ROW(A1)-1))

    I appreciate the suggestion but that doesn't work either.

    Re: Copying formula choices?

    It was offline last night. At that time, your attachment was not uploaded. After reading your attachment, I found that your area cannot contain B44. If there is already an addition, it will be calculated.

    'OCT20:SEPT25' Put all the statistical worksheets in an area like this

    example : ONLY THREE OCT20,NOV20 and DEC20
    =SUMPRODUCT(N(INDIRECT({"DEC20","NOV20","OCT20"}&"!"&CHAR(65+ROW(A1))&ROW($6:$43))))
    OR
    SUM(SUMIF(OFFSET(INDIRECT({"DEC20","NOV20","OCT20"}&"!B6:B43"),,ROW(A1)-1),"<>"))
