Increase the cell reference in a formula by 38 rows

Copper Contributor

Hi.  I have a worksheet with many formulas in a column which are linked to another worksheet via  formulas i.e =AW!$D$499, AW!D$500, AW!$D$521 etc...).  I have been manually adding 38 (the number of rows between each section I want) to everyone of these formulas in my new colomn so it links to a different section of that worksheet i.e =AW!$D$499 in column A becomes AW!$D$537 in column B.

Is there anyway I can do this via another formula instead of adding 38 to the last number each time?  I have hundreds to do!

Many thanks!!!!!!!!!

Try this in column A then drag across to column B...

 

=OFFSET(AW!$D$499,(ROW()-1)*38,0)

@Charla74Hi

Thank you for your reply.  Unfortunately it didn't work. Nothing happened to the formula when I dragged it to the right (I even tried removing the $ on the cell number reference).

The cell reference (on AW) is a 'Yes' or 'No' and copies that into my sheet.  Each column is 38 rows down on the previous formula.

 

Thank you again for trying my friend

It shall be offset calculated on columns, like

=OFFSET(AW!$D$499,(COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$1))*38,0)
