    Dragging a formula into consecutive columns that skip columns they are referencing

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to do something that I'm sure is straight forward but it's proving difficult.

    I'm creating a summary sheet that captures the revenue for each year, so references a different sheet (Revenues) every 12 columns (12 months).

    What I'd like to have is a formula that as I drag it gives me

    D7 = 'Revenues'!P11
    E7 = 'Revenues'!AB11
    F7 = 'Revenues'!AN11
    G7 = 'Revenues'!AZ11

    but obviously it gives me

    D7 = 'Revenues'!P11
    E7 = 'Revenues'!Q11
    F7 = 'Revenues'!R11
    G7 = 'Revenues'!S11

    I've seen other things on the forum but none make it clear enough what I need to do.

    Thank you in advance!!

    Re: Dragging a formula into consecutive columns that skip columns they are referencing

    D7=INDEX(Revenues!$P$11:$AZ$11,(COLUMNS($D7:D7)-1)*12+1)
    and copy towards right

    Amazing. Thank you. Am going through it now to work out exactly why it works but at least it does.

    Thank you!
