Suleman, thanks for trying but stil no go... maybe what you responded will
work and I just misunderstand what to do.

I have a database in one worksheet that controls customer info, inventory
and tracks sales by an invoice number. I am trying to create an invoice that
is autmatically populated by the information from that worksheet.

On the invoice (new worksheet) I would like to change a single value in
multiple formulas automatically... Basically, I would just like to change the
row number (in multiple cells) on the new worksheet...

maybe I'm going about this all the wrong way

If you want to change a single element simultaneously in multiple formulas,
just assign the same cell number to that element in each of those formulas,
then vary the value of that cell...........

OK, that will probably work... I pulled up that annoyying little paper clip
guy that is always tapping on my screen and typed in 'assigning cell number
to element'... no help there...

this is driving me nuts

The row number in a formula cannot be a variable, if that's what you are
trying to do.

This seems to work fine........

=SUM(B1:D1)+INDIRECT("A"&E1)

I've been playing with this a little, I hate to just drop this because I not
a very bright guy and you guys are trying to help me figure this out...
Thanks... I keep getting errors though...

=COUNT(Sold!I16) is one of the formulas, all the formulas need to change the
'16' is the variable

HEHEHE... I'M A BLOODY GENIUS!!!

I typed in something like =COUNT(INDIRECT("Sold!I"&D1)) and it works
great!!! Guess if I stay at it long enough I can figure anything out!!!
