Absolute value changing in linked workbooks
I want to link Row 3 in workbookA to Row 5 in workbookB. In WorkbookB cell
A5 I have: =+[WorkbookA.xls]Sheet1!$A$3 The links are working except when I insert a row above Row 3 in WorkbookA. It changes the absolute reference to $A$4. I want it to remain linked to row 3. I would appreciate a suggestion.

One way:
=INDEX([WorkbookA.xls]Sheet1!$A:$A,3) Note that your leading + is superfluous in XL. In article , Marnie wrote: I want to link Row 3 in workbookA to Row 5 in workbookB.

The other thing to do is to ensure WorkbookB is open when you are
modifying WorkbookA Or if you name the cell in WorkbookA, for example "MyCell" then you can insert and delete ranges that move MyCell and a link: =[WorkbookA.xls]Sheet1!MyCell will still work Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup
