HI,
Im working in Google Sheets and I want B3 to reference B5 all the time.
Should line 5 get deleted, Then I still want the new B5 to be the reference.
And I want to drag the B3 calculation across many columns and have the reference calculation update as I drag it across.

I have been using this formula but it does not update when I drag it to the right. =INDIRECT("B5")
Any tips? Thanks in advance.
