    Question Excel Cell Link in Increments

    Hello,
    I am linking up two worksheets. However, the data in one of the worksheets is in every 29th row

    For example, in sheet Weekly Summary, in cell A1, I am linking to data in sheet Machine, cell A29

    I want to be able to reference in Weekly Summary, in cell A2, the data in sheet Machine, cell A58 and so on

    So I what I have in my Weekly Summary worksheet column A is:
    =Machine!A29
    =Machine!A58
    =Machine!A87

    And I want to be able to just drag it down and have it reference every 29 cells.

    Thank you!

    Okay, I did a workaround, but I'd still like to know if there is a way to do this.
    What I did was create an incremental list in a new sheet (column B)
    29
    58
    87
    on down
    put the text Machine! in column A and pasted it all the way down (by double clicking the fill handle)
    combined the text of column A&B in column C (using &)
    copied that into a notepad document
    Replaced Machine with =Machine
    and pasted that into my spreadsheet

    (when I put = into the excel spreadsheet it came up with a reference error, which is why I did the notepad thing)

    Hi
    Try the following formula:

    =OFFSET(Machine!$A$29,(ROW()-1)*29,0,1,1)

    You can drag this down from A1 on your Weekly Summary sheet.

    Hope this helps
