Good afternoon,

Could someone please help me with a problem I am having? I am trying to reference a cell in Sheet1 by using ='Sheet2'!A2 for example and carry it down to ='Sheet2'!A30, but when I insert a row between that range and type in information it doesn't auto update. Further explanation: Sheet 2 A2 I have "10" and I go all the way to Sheet 2 A21 which will be "2000"; well let's say that I insert a row on Sheet 2 A3 that says "15", I need that to auto update my references. I expanded my range to allow changes like this to be made but it is not working the way I thought it would. Can someone please help me?

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Have you tried the OFFSET function. Suppose for example, in cell A2 of Sheet1 you write the formula =OFFSET(Sheet2!A$2,ROW()-2,0) and copy it down this will give you the values in each consecutive row even if you insert or delete rows on Sheet2. Does that help?

It sort of did! I managed to modify your formula slightly to make it work. Thank you for your help!!
