    Dragging cells to other referenced cells gives REF ERROR.

    Hi,
    I'm doing a Kanban template with excel which works by dragging info from cells to other cells. For other purposes, I've got another worksheet (2) with cells referenced to other cells from the first worksheet that when info is dragged the reference error appears on worksheet 2. The fact that I'm dragging text/numbers to A5 (eg), and the cell B5 on worksheet 2 being referenced to A5 as =Worksheet1!A5, makes the error appear. Any solution to this?
    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    You have a few options. Here are two:

    1) Copy/Paste (then delete the original) instead of dragging
    2) Use a formula that does not directly refer to the cell, for example, =INDEX(Worksheet1!A:A,5) instead of =Worksheet1!A5
