0 Subject: Excel Queston #2: Deletions

Okay, final thing (I think) and then my own "Draft Dominator" of sorts will be complete.

I want to be able to delete a row and slide everything up and have the formulas reference the info that has slid up to that spot.

So a formula is referencing D1, when I delete what's in D1 I get "#REF" instead I want the formula to just use what has moved into D1.

Is there a way to do the formulas or a setting I click somewhere or what?

Okay, I've found the R1C1 setting (the term "absolute reference" flashed in mind, so I typed into help found my way over to R1C1).

Anyway, this looks right except for it's still giving me a slight problem.

Say I have a value in R1C1, and R2C2 references "R[-1]C[-1]". When I delete R1CI, that reference "R[-1]C[-1]" changes to "#REF"

What can I do?

Try this...

Change "D1" in your formula to "$D$1"

The "$" symbol locks your formula into that particular cell so it'll reference what's in there.
