Use the Name Manager to define a commonly named range for each sheet using worksheet scope, setting the range appropriately for each tab. Then reference Tab!Named Range in your formula. You might instead set each data range as a Table and reference the table and header in your formula to replace the cell range in the count if portion.

Hi,<br />
I would like to have the below formula modified to refer to a range of cells.<br />
=IF(A9=A8,T8,S9+COUNTIF($A<wbr />$9:$A$2473<wbr />,A9)-1)<br />
The above range shows a9:a2473. However the end range can change from sheet to sheet.<br />
row 9 is always the same. The latter part only needs modifying from Countif.....<br />
At the moment the other cell formulas just refer to a cell with 2473 or whatever number of rows there are in the sheet <br />
and I would like to do the same with the above formula rather than having to modify each time.<br />
Any help much appreciated.<br />
Thank You<br />
Ian<br />
ps..... or maybe there is a formula that can refer to the last row of a spreadsheet
