I must be feeling dumb :confused: How do I create a reference to a cell, to use in a formula:

On Sheet1 I have this:

in cell A3, ='Sheet2'!A32

in cell A9 I want to display the contents of 'Sheet2'!A33
in cell A15, the contents of 'Sheet2'!A34
in cell A21, the contents of 'Sheet2'!A35
etc.

So how can I construct a reference to "sheet 2, cell A(32+x)"?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Use the INDIRECT function.

Here is one way that returns what you want from those examples you listed:

=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A" & INT(ROW()/6)+32)


Edit: Didn't see the other response while I was testing, very similar to kpark's reply.
