    How to automatically update cell references

    Hi,

    Lets say I have two sheets titled "dashboard" and "raw data" in a workbook. Cell A1 in "dashboard" should always show the most up to date data from Row 1 in "Raw Data".

    I update "raw data" daily, adding a new column to Row 1. For example December 19 would be A1, December 20 would be B1, December 21 would be C1 etc...How can cell A1 in "Dashboard" always reference the newest cell in Row 1 of "raw data"?

    in a1 filled across to k1 for example
    =INDEX('raw data'!$A:$K,1,COLUMN(A1)) or a:z if you like ,adjust to suit

    If row 1 on the Raw Data sheet contains dates and you want the date from the right-most cell:

    =LOOKUP(1E100,'Raw Data'!1:1)
