在另一个工作表中引用单元格，范围不起作用

Question

I am referencing the value of a cell based on another value of other cell in another sheet. It works for the first row but once I go to the next row it doesn't work as it gets another value not the value I want. I feel it has something to do with the referecing using the RC way and the -ve values. Any advice?

=IF(RC[-1]="A";Predefined_data;RC[-1];IF(RC[-1]="B";Predefined_data;R[1]C[-1];IF(RC[-1]="C";Predefined_data!R[2]C[-1])))

The problem as soon as I try to lock the references like this:

The problem as soon as I try to lock the refeences and make them

=IF(RC[-1]="A";Predefined_data!R[2]C[1];IF(RC[-1]="B";Predefined_data!R[3]C[1];IF(RC[-1]="C";Predefined_data!R[4]C[1])))

It changes back to be using the referencing to the current cell not the fixed one I mentioned and reverts to:

=IF(RC[-1]="A";Predefined_data!RC[-1];IF(RC[-1]="B";Predefined_data!R[1]C[-1];IF(RC[-1]="C";Predefined_data!R[2]C[-1])))

Any advice?

According to the ref: Authoritative Excel range syntax reference

Just remove the block bracket, replace it with the cell exact location value and the referencing will be absolute.. (functions the same as $ symbol as per comment.)

So the solution should be: =IF(RC[-1]="A",Predefined_data,R2C1,IF(RC[-1]="B",Predefined_data,R3C1,IF(RC[-1]="C",Predefined_data!R4C1)))

Hope it solves. (:
