    3D reference

    Hi!

    How do I get excel to copy specific cells in a different worksheet when I drag/copy?
    I need f.x. sheet3!A1 copied to sheet1!A1, but then i use sheet1 a2,a3,a4,a5,a6 to calc. Then I need sheet3!A2 copied into sheet1!a7 and then again i use 5 cells down to calc, but then when i drag it should go like that, but it takes sheet3!A8 instead of A3 because I wnet down 5 cells in sheet1...

    How can I make it easy and fast so I can just drag it down?

    Thanks

    Re: 3D reference

    I'm a little confused about your requirement, but it sounds like you need to learn the difference between absolute and relative references...
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Re: 3D reference

    okay, i'll try and show it

    SHEET1-----------------------------SHEET2------------------------------SHEET3
    ----a------------b---c----d-----------a---b---c----d-----------------------a b c d
    1 sheet3!A1---------------------------------------------------------------(some numbers)
    2 a1/434
    3 a2+763
    7 sheet3!A2
    8 a7/434
    9 a8+763
    13 (here would i like to drag the list down and copy the work i've done, but with sheet3!A3 etc, but it changes to sheet3!A8 because i go 5 down ind sheet1, it also goes 5 down in sheet3, but i only want it to go down by 1..)

    Hope it clearyfied my problem

    I am btw from Denmark, so my apolegize for bad spelling/gramma..

    Nope. That's impossible to follow. Try attaching a workbook.

    And, again, learn the difference between A7 and $A$7...

    You may use:
    =INDEX(Sheet3!A:A,(ROW()-1)/6+1)
    in A1, then copy this to A7, A13 et cetera.
