Hi all, quick question for my clever Excel friends.

Imagine I have a formula in worksheet A, on row 1 that references a cell in another worksheet B, row 1.

Row 2 on worksheet A needs to reference a cell on row 21 in worksheet B.

Row 3 on worksheet A needs to reference a call on row 41 on worksheet B.

And so on.

I'm sure there's a way to make Excel 365 fill down in increments of 20 (in this example), but i can't find it.  

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance

Rod

Let's say the other sheet is named Other Sheet. In A1 enter:

zz'Other Sheet'!B1

In A2 enter:

zz'Other Sheet'!B21

 

Then select A1 and A2, and fill down as far as necessary (it will increment to zz'Other Sheet1B41 and so on). Then press Ctrl+H (for the Find/Replace dialog, and replace zz with = to convert them to formulas.
