Formula

I have data in multiple cells that goes across a single row.
I'd like to reference this data in a separate worksheet in multiple cells across a single column instead i.e. transposed.

i.e.
'Data' Worksheet:

A B C D E
1 100 90 120 150 110
2

'Reference' Worksheet:

A
1 ='Data'!A1
2 ='Data'!B1
3 ='Data'!C1
4 ='Data'!D1
5 ='Data'!E1

When entering a formula in A1 of the 'Reference' sheet and filling down, Excel does not increment the Column letter - only the row number, e.g.:

A
1 ='Data'!A1
2 ='Data'!A2
3 ='Data'!A3
4 ='Data'!A4
5 ='Data'!A5

Is there any way of getting excel to increment the Column number instead as required?

RE: Formula

Hi Sadhana,

Thank you for the forum question.

If I understand you right the functions below can do the job. Type this in A1 on the destination sheet and drag down the fill handle.

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,ROW(A1),4,,"Data"))

Please let me know if this not makes sense.

Kind regards
