    Copying reference to same cell on multiple sheets into multiple cells on 1 sheet

    Hi everyone, sorry if the subject is confusing.

    I have a workbook with 100 sheets that feed data to a ledger sheet. The ledger is by necessity in a column format, and I want to reference B6 on the other 100 sheets. When I put in ='2'!B$6 and copy/paste I wind up with the entire column referencing sheet 2. How do I get it to reference 3, 4, etc?

    You may need to attach a small sample workbook with no sensitive data for an absolute answer.

    When you want to copy over and have the tab names change you usually use an Indirect statement with the tab name being an input into the formula.

    i.e. if your tab names are in row 1 you would use something similar to
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Hi, and welcome to the forum.

    You haven't said to where you are copying this formula.

    Assuming it's down a series of rows, and let's say you start in row 10 then an Indirect will do it. i.e

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and copy this down.

    Note that if you start on another row the -8 number in the formula will need to change so that the row you're on minus a new number = 2.
