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

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
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.
