    Need Help With Copying Relative Formula

    *EDIT - SOLVED*

    Hello and thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
    I am running Excel 2003 on a Windows 2000 machine.


    I have 2 sheets in one workbook.
    sheet 1 is data input
    sheet 2 is summary

    I want to put this into summary

    ......A...........................B..........................C

    1...='data input'B1........='data input'B2......='data input'B3

    2....='data input'E1.......='data input'E2.......='data input'E3

    I have about 100 rows each of about 10 columns that I wish to do this with.
    I know I can do it the long way by hand but there must ba a shortcut I can use.

    I have tried coppying and pasting etc but I then get b1,b2,b3 going DOWN which I do not want.
    Each row of summary needs to increment the reference to 'data input' by 3 columns ie B,E,H,K

    Can this be done? How should I begin?





    SOLUTION - in case anyone else comes across this
    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$1,COLUMNS($A$1:A1)-1,ROW(1:1)*3-3)

    Try this anywhere in your Summary Sheet:

    =INDEX('Data Input'!$A$1:$Z$100,COLUMNS($A:A),3*ROWS($1:2)-4)

    Copy across and down as needed.

    Adjust your indexed range as necessary.
