Tab reference links

I have a workbook in excel with monthly tabs and links form tab to tab. i.e. beginning balance in February pull from ending balance in January. When I copy a tab, say March to Create April, the new Tab will still link back to the February tab instead of the previous tab which would be March. So I go in to April and change all the links to March form February. Is there a way to set up the link so when I create a new tab using the copy function that the links will just refer to the the appropriate tab?

    Use one cell for storing the source worksheet name. Make all your references relative to it.

  • @Akina it's a good candidate answer.. you should put it as full answer for this one.. you may throw an example to illustrate it. ( :

In the April tab.. Do Ctrl + H > replace February! to March! > click replace all.



Not a beautiful copy paste solution. but if you don't rename your sheet and leave it as the original Sheet1 , Sheet2 ..
Then the use of =INDIRECT("Sheet"&(SHEET(A1)-1)&"!A1",TRUE) will be the copy paste solution you are looking for.



Hope it helps..
