Indirect References - Summarizing sheets - Relative?
Hi all
- Hoping anyone could help on this problem I am seeing. I have a workbook called SummaryForecast and have several sheets in the book: Summary; DeptA; DeptB; DeptC etc. The summary sheet takes data in 5 categories from each Dept and then sums to a Dept total. eg- DeptA Category 1 45,000 Category 2 23,000 etc... .... Category 5 12,000 Total DeptA 123,000. In order to get this information, I email the Dept sheets to people, they update the detail behind each category (which may include adding/subtracting line items) and then I copy the tab (making sure the name is the same) back into the original workbook. Whew. Are you still with me? So what is supposed to happen is that all the links to the numbers from each category should be updated. I have this with =indirect(DeptA&"!g5") and it works as long as no line items have been added or subtracted. If items have been added, this formula is inaccurate. So - finally- what i would like to do is have the formula on the summary sheet update the category information, regardless if items have been added or not. Any help you can give would be really appreciated!! thanks! |
