Hi Folks,

I have a problem which I am sure there is a simple soultion for but I
can't for the life of me work it out.

I have a workbook (Workbook 1) which has been completed with a list of
numbers starting in B16. In a seperate workbook (Workbook 2) I would
like to reference to these numbers and autofill the cell references down
increasing the Cell reference by 1 but the actual cell that this
reference will appear in will have jumped down several rows.

For Example:
Workbook 1 Workbook 2
B16 C10 = Workbook 1 Cell B16
B17 C20 = Workbook 1 Cell B17
B18 C30 = Workbook 1 Cell B18
B19 C40 = Workbook 1 Cell B19

The number of cells missed out on the reference workbook would be
consistant, say 10 cells like in the example.

I have several thousand of these references to do so you can understand
that I don't want to manual enter each reference.

Thanks in advance for your help

you could do it with INDIRECT. But for correct working then both
workbooks must be open.
In C10 try:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT("[Workbook1]Sheet1!$B"&ROW()/10+15),"")
and copy down
