    Adding numbers to cell reference instead of cell value

    Hi

    Don't really know how to explain this.. I have a cell which I have referenced to another sheet, and the sequence goes like this: B1,K1,T1.. basically it skips every 9 letters.

    I have done 1 column of this and I am attempting to sequence the formula for the next column as B46,K46,T46..

    Basically what I want to do is add 45 to the cell ITSELF and not the cell VALUE (e.g. B1+45=B46 NOT B1+45=46 if B1=1)

    How do I do this?
    Much help would be appreciated.

    Use INDEX...

    You don't specify where you're putting these formulae but if we assume you have a table A1:C2 where A1:C1 contain B1,K1 & T1 from another sheet and A2:C2 contain B46,K46 and T46 etc... then:

    Are those actual text strings.. ie. B1, K1, T1 or are they cell refs.. as in =B1, =K1, =T1?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
