Drag and drop cell links
![hiker360](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
I have a sheet with 12 month of rows and many rows with amounts across the months (i.e. sales projections). I want to summarize by month in another sheet. So in a different summary sheet, I use a sum formula in month 1 and link to the details sheet. Now I want to do this for each month. In Excel, I'd drag the cell and Excel would know that I am referencing the next column(month). When I do that in SmartSheets, it just uses the same link as the first. It doesn't attempt to adjust the links to their relative position.
Am I doing something wrong or how do I do this? It will take forever to do this a month at a time for all the details I need.

Hi @hiker360
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's the way it works.
You could either cell-link more cells simultaneously or use cross-sheet formulas instead.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks. I hadn't realized I could select a range of cells and then link to a range of cells.
