    Smile Make a formula stay in a cell

    Good Morning everyone,

    This is my 1st post but there will be many to follow I'm sure as I have lots of things I would like to do.

    My first query is this:

    The 1st sheet of my spreadsheet is a summary page. And I need it to list cell A3 of all the following sheet. However the information is cell A3 on the following sheets need to change occassionally and to do so I will move the current information in the those sheets downwards to keep the updated information at the top. I was going to just insert a line to do this but noticed that on the front sheet the formula then changes from ='CS1'!A3 to ='CS1'!A4.

    Is there a different formaula I can use to make sure no matter how many line i insert, it will always pick up A3 and not move down the sheet.

    I hope that make sense.

    Thanks

    Hello Jvic,
    welcome to the forum.

    Try

    =Indirect("CS1!A3")

    or

    =Index(CS1!$A:$A,3)

    cheers
