Removing static cross sheet refences in a formula

Hi All,

I have two sheets set up, one for data entry and another for calculations. I need the calculation sheet rows to reference the same row on the data entry sheet, so row 1 on the calc sheet references row 1 on the data sheet, row 2 on the calc sheet references row 2 etc. However, when I drag the formula down on the calc sheet, it references the first row on the data sheet. If I manually set up each row it works fine, but I am expecting several hundred rows and I don't have time to create each row manually. Any thoughts?

PS I am not using any $.

The formula is:

=IF({JC 2018 Findings Range 3} = "High", 3, IF({JC 2018 Findings Range 3} = "Moderate", 2, IF({JC 2018 Findings Range 3} = "Low", 1)))

Hi @Guy Paterson

I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!

Best,

Your current Cross Sheet Reference is probably only looking at 1 cell.

First change that to reference the entire column.

Then add the below columns to your sheet:

LINE-ID: SYSTEM AUTO NUMBER
ROW#: =MATCH([LINE-ID]@row, [LINE-ID]:[LINE-ID], 0

Then your formula would be:

=IF(INDEX({JC 2018 Findings Range 3}, [ROW#]@row) = "High", 3, IF(INDEX({JC 2018 Findings Range 3}, [ROW#]@row) = "Moderate", 2, IF(INDEX({JC 2018 Findings Range 3}, [ROW#]@row) = "Low", 1)))
