Hello,

Hopefully a pretty quick question. My simple formula in C:13 shows as #Ref! after I run the delete VBA function. This formula is simply the cell above +1 and will never change. How do I make sure to keep this formula after deleting rows. Lastly, is there away to make sure users cannot delete up to the current year? Sorry for the loaded questions. I am just learning this VBA stuff and there is a lot to it. Thanks!

Here is my VBA to delete rows and here is the data after i ran the delete row function:

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteRows()
    
    'Get active sheet
    Dim act As Worksheet
    Set act = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
 
    'Delete Rows from current bot row both tables
    top_row = act.Range("AZ1")
    bot_row = act.Range("AZ4")
    Range("A" & bot_row).Offset(-1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
    Range("A" & top_row).Offset(-1, 0).EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

Sorry about that. Simply updated formula to.

Solution
Thanks for posting the solution. This way, it will be more helpful for future readers.

By the way, I am also interested in your solution. According to your solution, you are still referring to a cell above the formula cell, so C14 could be still deleted, right?

However, if you, instead, refer to the cell that contains the formula calculation +1 (itself) and still use the OFFSET function, then it won't be affected.
According to your solution. the +1 cell should be C15. So, if you put the following formula in C15 (note that I am referring to the same cell that holds the formula):

Excel Formula:
=OFFSET(C15,-1,)+1

102019
112020
122021
132022
142023

Sheet1

Then it won't be affected by any row deletion, but the formula inside will keep referring to the cell above it.
