I have one tab in a spreadsheet summarizing information collected in other groups of cells in another tab in the same spreadsheet. I would like to be able to copy down the formula in one tab to reference non-adjacent cells in the other tab, but I cannot figure out how to make each consecutive line reference the right cells in the other spreadsheet because there are gabs in between.

I need to be able to continue dragging down from O12 with formula ='Time Entry'!T22 so that O13 will ='Time Entry'!T30. Essentially with every line I drag the formula down in column O, it references the 8th next cell down in the Time Entry tab. I started by manually having to adjust the formulas but that's going to take forever when I have 52 rows to do this in.

Did that make sense?

Just leave the 8 alone & change the amount to add or subtract, to get the right cells.
