    Referencing a cell on another page

    I have a workbook in Excel 2007 with a summary page. On the summary page I reference cells from other worksheets in the workbook - example"='05T'!B10". The only problem is that the formula for the reference will change if the referenced cell moves in the other sheet when a line is inserted above it. The formula will now be "='05T'!B11" instead of "='05T'!B10". This is good for some things but I need it to remain unchanged even if a line is inserted in the other sheet above the referenced cell. I have tried using dollar signs before the B and the 10. That did not seem to help.

    Is there some way to reference the Column and Row address instead of the cell??

    Thanks,

    Jason

    You could use index to return a value in an array be column and row, or use indirect to fix the cell you're referencing.

    =INDIRECT("'05T'!B10")
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
