EXCEL: Delete a row without lose references

Hi,

i would like to know how delete a row without loose the references about this row.

I give you an example, if i have a formula with some cell of row 64, and i want delete it, i would like that excel understand to update the reference with the new row below.

 

Thank you so much

    You can use the INDIRECT function for this:

     

    =INDIRECT("E64")

     

    will always refer to cell E64, even if you delete row 64, or insert or delete rows above it.

      Ok thank you, I've already created the formulas, it's possible to add the function INDIRECT massively?

        What do your formulas currently look like? Simply =cell_reference or more complicated?

         

        And which cell references should be changed? Only those that refer to row 64, or all references, or something in between?
