Hi All,
Is there a quick way that I can use the INDEX formula on the attached workbook or do I have to manually edit each of the positions in the range?

It's OK now - will accept, although it could be more descriptive.
This is what I posted before:
This is the formula that you have in D10:
=IF(ISBLANK(Project_Data!$E10),"",INDEX(Project_Data!$G$9:$G$250,2,1))
You can simplify this to:
=IF(Project_Data!$E10="","",INDEX(Project_Data!$G$9:$G$250,2))
and then you want the 2 to increment as you copy the formula down, so you could change that to:
=IF(Project_Data!$E10="","",INDEX(Project_Data!$G$9:$G$250,ROWS($1:2))
and then you will be able to copy it down.
In terms of copying across, the $G will remain fixed unless you change it to just G, but then the columns that you want to get data from are not contiguous so you would have to edit them anyway (and you have slightly different requirements, like dividing by 100 in column F). You could use MATCH to determine the column number if the headings are the same.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Pete! Works perfectly. Don't mind editing the few columns, beats editing every cell.
Just to understand better, please explain why using "ROWS($1:2))" is working? Can't get my head around why it's working. As I copy it down it changes to ROWS($1:3)), ROWS($1:4)) on the Project_Plan tab.
Thanks for the extra tip on using MATCH. The reason I used /100, is because I changed the format to percentage on Project_Plan, as the Project_Data tab only shows a number.
The other issue also now is, when I delete a row the Project_Data tab, it shows #REF! error on the Project_Plan.
Whereas if I use
=IF(ISBLANK(Project_Data!$E10),"",INDEX(Project_Data!$G$9:$G$249,2,1))
when I delete a row, it automatically update on the Project_Plan tab
This seems to do the trick that works when a delete or add a row.
In D10
=IF(ISBLANK(Project_Data!$E10),"",INDEX(Project_Data!$G$10:$G$249,ROWS($A$10:A10)))
Glad you got it working. Thanks for the rep.
Pete
