On Sheet1, I have a data range D9:AH29.

On sheet B, I want the total of each column. Currently I am using the formula =SUM(Sheet1!D$9:D$29) in Cell A1, =SUM(Sheet1!E$9:E$29) in A2, =SUM(Sheet1!E$9:E$29) in A3 and so on. The problem with the formula is ---- I have to manually change the column reference. Is there any dynamic way so that I may drag down the formula and the column reference change automatically?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hey,

I'd make a helper column on sheet B using column B.

B1:
="Sheet1!"&ADDRESS(9,ROW()+3)&":"&ADDRESS(29,ROW()+3)

Drag down to B31 (B31 should say "Sheet1!$AH$9:$AH$29")

Now in A1 use:
=SUM(INDIRECT(B1)) and drag down to A31.

Hi,

Assuming you'll start in A1 on sheet B with the result of column D in sheet 1, try something like this:
=SUM(OFFSET(Sheet1!$D$9,0,ROW()-1,21,1))

As your range runs from 9 till 29 there are 21 cells to summarize. If the ranges changes, change 21 to the correct number of cells to sum.

OK no problem, in that case use the solution given by @jorismoerings - it's more efficient and doesn't require a helper column :-)
