    Seconday Worksheet Reference Formula Drag Fill incrementing Issue

    I have 18 worksheets, in the last 17, i want to auto fill information from the first worksheet.

    Scenario, sheets 2 through 18 are all formatted exactly the same and all needed data auto filled from b3 through r41.

    sheet 2 b3= sheet 1 b4
    sheet 2 b4= sheet 1 b26
    sheet 2 b5= sheet 1 b48 and so in in a 22 cell increment. and as far as filling left to right, the columns match between sheets.

    i just want to create a formula in cell b3:r3 that i can fill drag down to b41:r:41that increments in reference to sheet 1 by 22 cells .

    in sheet 3, i will do the same thing except start on sheet 1 b5 and go to b27 and b49 and so on.

    sheet 4 will start at b6 and it will continue all the way through stopping on b20 on sheet 18

    Does this make sense?

    in my lame attempts, i filled in the formula on sheet 2 b3 to say b3=sheet 1 b4 (in proper form) and i drug it to the right. I did that for the first three rows hoping excel was intuitive enough to catch my progression pattern of skipping 22 cells, but it didnt of course.

    In sheet2b3 enter =INDIRECT("Sheet2!B"&((ROW()-3)*22+4)) - Pull down as needed

    be aware that INDIRECT is volatile and will calculate at each change in the workbook even if the function is not addressed

    Re: Seconday Worksheet Reference Formula Drag Fill incrementing Issue

    My issue is the sheet b reference in the formula. My workbook is in regards to a football pool. Sheet 1 is titled "Master Picks" Sheet 2 is an independent worksheet that does not need to be referenced. Sheet 3 is title "Week 1" and sheets 4 - 19 are title Week 2:Week17.

    i apologize but this is my first delve into inderect and index functions
