    Efficiently Creating Multiple Versions of a Template

    Hello,

    Here is my issue. I have 50 data points in a table on tab A. In tab B, I have 50 copies of a form template that link to the data in tab A. The info on row 1 of tab A links to the first template in tab B etc. I recently messed and all my template references now have the lovel #REF! error. Do you guys know if a faster way to re-link my templates to my data set other than manually typing in the formulas 50 times? Thanks!

    I attached a copy of my file. Hopefully this clarifies what I am looking for. The data is contained in the "Merge Template" worksheet and the templates on the "Void Form" worksheet. Thanks.

    use the INDIRECT formula.

    You would need to define thses for one invoice and refernce them to a row number. For instance, if you input the row number in Cell A8.

    Then your formula in C9 would be
    =INDIRECT("'Merge Template'!C"&$A8)
    In C10
    =INDIRECT("'Merge Template'!J"&A8)

    and so on


    So for the next invoice you would input the row number (i.e. 4) in A54 and then you could copy formulas from first invoice.

    Does this help?

    Perfect. I was attempting to do this earlier, but was not using the INDIRECT formula. Thanks a lot Ace.
