Cell Reference Question

[Guest]

I have data in an Excel spreadsheet that's sorted vertically. I need to
reference this vertical data (i.e. G4, G5, G6, etc) to another part of the
spreadsheet so that it shows up horzontally.

I know I can use copy/transpose to do this, but what I'm trying to do is use
the horizontal cell reference (i.e. =G4, G5, etc). I'm trying to avoid
having to type in each cell reference. Is there a way to essentially "lock"
the reference to "G" but have it pull from the next cell down? i.e. G4, G5,
etc.

Hope this makes sense.

One way:

Assume you want to put G4:Gx in AA3:yy3:

AA3: =INDEX($G:$G,COLUMN()-23)

Copy across. Adjust the 23 to suit, depending on your starting column
(and row).

try this idea.
=INDIRECT("g"&COLUMN(A1)+3)

If, for example, the reference of the first cell of your horizontal range is
H3, then use =OFFSET($G$4,COLUMN()-COLUMN($H$3),0)
Copy across as required.
