    Unhappy Poining to Empty Rows with Formula & Copying Formula with Increments

    Hi there

    I have spreadsheets that I have filled out at different times.
    Daily ones, let's say named Daily 01-11-2021 & Monthly ones, for example November 2021

    Daily 01-11-2021 has the 1st of Novembers Data enetered...., and then saved as that date. (On the 2nd a new spreadsheet is filled out and saved as 02-11-2021....etc)
    November 2021 has some of that data enetered in the 1st November row, but then stays open for a month to record all of Novembers Data..... once taken and available.

    I know I can point certain cells from the Monthly one to an open Daily one and therefore auto-populate with that data, but my questions are:

    1 Can I point to cells, using a formula, in the Monthly row for the 2nd if it hasn't been created yet? And will it autopopulate once created and filled in?
    2 Can this formula be copied to the Monthly row for the 3rd, 4th, 5th etc but in each of these rows they would need to automatically increment by the file name and cell, that would be one day more.....

    Does this make sense?

    So, how can I copy a formula from the row above (on Monthly spreadsheet) to the row below, and look to the same cell number but from a different spreadsheet that would be named one day more.....Daily 01-11-2021, Daily 02-11-2021, Daily 03-11-2021 etc

    And then......once i'd filled out November's spreadhseet looking to all 30 Daily spreadsheets, I'd also like to copy this whole Monthly spreadsheet to create December......but add one day obviously!

    Any help much appreciated

    Re: Unsure

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    It was in the wrong place, as you are asking about formulae, so I have moved it.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

    Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

    Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

    (Note: this change is not optional. As you are new, I will attempt to do it for you, however I am very disappointed that you made no effort whatsoever with your thread title.)

    Don't add any more to an already long post. Add an annotated WORKBOOK, as requested, instead.
