Spreading formulas down the workbook while pulling from 2nd workbo

I have 2 workbooks that I want to pass data through. One workbook has a data
entry sheet for 16 different operation lines. Data is entered into that
workbook for the day and then totalled. There are 365 duplicates of this
chart in the workbook each cooresponding to a date. The 2nd workbook pulls
the totals from the 1st workbook and stores the totals by date. I am using
the Vlookup function to pull the data according to date.

My problem is that I have all my formulas in the 2nd workbook to pull the
data from the 1st workbook, but the next set of totaled data is 35rows down.
Is there a way to change the formula in the 2nd workbook so I can just drag
the formula down and it only pull data every 35th row? If that will not work
then the whole processes will have to be manual as I am not going to type in
the formula (365*16*72*2) times...

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

The forumla I am using is:

='C:\Documents and Settings\ase0505\My Documents\to be\KPI data
processing\[Data Collection Shift 1.xls]Line 1'!$E35

The data Collection Shift 1.xls is the 1st workbook that is storing all of
my data. I tried removing the absolute vale on the E35 in hopes I could have
it update. But basically, to go to the next day, I need ot have E35 change
to E70, and then the 3rd entry would need to be E105 etc...365 times.

Thanks

It can be done but it would require some serious coding. I have code that
duplicates it'self (22 lines) 1000 times. You have to find all variables and
make them constants then provide some counters, etc. It took me several days
but now I can generate this type of code in seconds. I don't have several
days so I leave the studying to you. Good luck.
