How To Force Excel To Drag Formula By Two Instead Of One

Mar 17, 2014

This is my formula:

=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A1:C2)

My question concentrates on this part of the formula:...Criteria!A1:C2

When I drag down the formula, it changes, as usually, adding 1 to the cells address, like this:

Criteria!A1:C2
Criteria!A2:C3
Criteria!A3:C4

BUT, I want the formula dragged down, adding 2 instead of 1, changing like this:

Criteria!A1:C2
Criteria!A3:C4
Criteria!A5:C6

How can I achieve this result?

Excel 2010 :: Making Portions Of Drag Down Formula Skip Cells

Feb 11, 2014

I have set up a formula to sum data from specific columns in multiple sheets in the same file. The simple formula had worked perfectly until I needed the data from the last sheet. In all of the other sheets the data that I need to pull is all in consecutive rows but in the last sheet the data that I need pulled and added is in every 4th row. The sheet looks like this:

All of the columns I've filled in work fine. The ones blank are the ones I am running into issues with. When I drag down the formulas excel pulls the next consecutive rows, which is perfect for the first four sheets I am summing, but for the fifth sheet (I'll ref the Test1 column) I need it to pull 'Wayne 2014'!C6 and then 'Wayne 2014'!C10 in the next row and so forth.

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
$ Amt.

Jan.16
=SUM(C2+D2+E2+F2)

[Code] ........

The first four sheets look like this, which is why they work fine:

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.

Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)

[Code] ........

The fifth sheet looks like this: I only want the formulas from the first sheet to pull the data from the dated rows in this sheet.

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.

Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)
=SUM(C3:C5)

[Code] ......

Is there any way in Excel 2010 to get it do what I want? (I am not sure how that one cell became outlined and I do not know how to fix it.)

Lookup Formula With Wildcard: Force Excel To See * & ? As Characters

Sep 8, 2006

There might be an easy solution for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm trying to do a vlookup with the lookup value being #CFDMSMCSA*4. But the lookup table also has a value #CFDMSMCSAM4 in it.
It keeps returning the value for this #CFDMSMCSAM4 because of the * in the first string. Any ideas.

How To Drag The Formula Down

May 19, 2014

On the 'Total' sheet I'm wanting subsequent sheets to fill in on the rows. Do I have to redo the formulas for each row because it will correlate to a different sheet? I only know how to drag the formula down, but that doesn't seem to work right!

How To Drag Formula Of Every Other Cell

Mar 14, 2014

=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A1:C2)

If I simply drag the above formula down I end up with

=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A2:C3)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A3:C4)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A4:C5)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A5:C6)

I am trying to drag the above formula so that it copies in the following manner:

=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A3:C4)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A5:C6)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A7:C8)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A9:C10)

How can I achieve this result?

Excel 2010 :: Drag Down But Update Column By 1

Nov 8, 2013

I have a simple formula

I need to drag this down but as I drag it down, the column needs to be updated by 1.

so it would look like this:

=IF($D116=E1,SUM(E90:E103))
=IF($D116=F1,SUM(F90:F103))

Formula Drag Over Grouped Rows

Dec 16, 2013

I have sheets with over 40000 rows. I grouped them in 60 and I need the average for every group on the 61st (which is blank). For example, when collapsed I have visible the following blank cells:

A61
A122
A183
A244
and so on.

What I want is to enter a formula in A61 for the average of A1:A60 then drag down and have the correct values in all the rest (average of A62:A121 in A122, etc.).

Excel 2003 :: Drag Without Losing Source Formatting

Sep 24, 2013

This refers to Excel 2003. I will be dragging contents of cells to another place on the same worksheet. To make myself clear, the text must be moved from the source cells to the destination cells, leaving the format of both source and destination cells - such as borders and fill - unchanged.

NOTE: I know that I can copy the cells and return to the destination cells to delete the content that I want to move. This wastes time when doing many drags and drops.

NOTE: I know that I can paste special, pasting the Values only. Again, this is a lot of extra clicking or keyboard shortcuts. Again this wastes time when dragging and dropping many times.

Drag Cell Formula For Paired Data

Feb 11, 2014

In my worksheet i have pairs of data from A2:A18. cell A2 is paired with A3, cell A5 to A6.

In cell C2, I have the formula =IF(A2>A3,A2,A3). then in C3 I have =IF(A5>A6,A5,A6).

I would then like to be able to drag these formulas down to C7 and take the appropriate data.

So another example, cell C4 should be =IF(A8>A9,A8,A9).

I have seen many formulas for how to drag skipping a row, but couldn't find anything on pairs of data while skipping a row as well.

The worksheet is attached : TEST.xlsx‎

Drag Formula Across A Row And Still Take Account Of Mixed Reference

Mar 15, 2009

1. I have data A1, A2, A3....down a column.

2. I have one value on C2 ( constant value)

3. the formula is a very simple multiplication formula. I want to multiply every single value of column A to C2. But it needs to be in across a row that starts in
D4. So,formula needs to be in (D4, E4, F4) there are other datas in the worksheet

4. So when I input =$A1*$C$2 in D4 it calculates it fine but when i try to drag the formula across the row so [E4=$A2*$C$2, F4=$A3*$C$2...]

it repeates the same fomula as D4 and does not adjust for the increase in column number.

Drag/Fill Formula & Skip Some Row References

Apr 28, 2008

I have the following formulae in seperate cells were A1, A2 and A3 are the cells

A1 =MAX(Data!C2:C3)
A2 =MAX(Data!C4:C5)
A3 =MAX(Data!C6:C7)

I would like to drag the cells so that automatically the cells below A3 are updated as follows

A4 =MAX(Data!C8:C9)
A5 =MAX(Data!C10:C11)
etc up to 600 rows

Unfortunately it is not being updated in that order. Do you have any suggestions how it can be done.

SUMIF Formula - Drag Out Figures From Column In Tab Of Workbook

Jun 17, 2014

In the attached workbook, see the "P & L" tab, cells I30 to I48. The idea of the formula I have placed into these cells is to drag out the figures from column I in the "Trial Balance" tab of the workbook. A similar formula is used succesfully in the "balance sheet" tab in Column B. I don't understand why the formula doesn't work in the cells i've specified in in the " P & L" tab it seems to work for I8 and the rows immediately below it "revenue".

Drag Down Formula But Cell Reference Number Not Updating?

Jan 27, 2014

I am trying to drag down a formula (see below). the cell reference A6 and E6 is not updating to A7 and E7 etc etc when i drag the formula down using the corner thing. it remains constant at A6 and E6.

=HYPERLINK("#INDEX('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$F$4:$F$3000,MATCH(1,('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$B$4:$B$3000=A6)*('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$D$4:$D$3000=E6),0))","Link 1")

im pretty sure the problem comes down to the hashtag and quotation marks that i added, as the formula properly increased the cell references when i drag down without the hashtag and quotations. however, i sort of need it because adding those seems to be the only way i can get the hyperlink to link me over to the other sheet and to the correct cell containing the hyperlink.

part 2 of problem: the hashtag and quotations is currently a workaround method for me. the original intention was for the hyperlink to directly link me to a website, which is referenced from a separate sheet. however, without the hashtag and quotations, i get a "Cannot open specified file" error.

I am using a VLOOKUP formula, but when I drag it down it doesn't keep the same array selection. Is there a way so that I can drag it and it relates to the cell to the left, but the array selected stays the same. I don't really want to type the same thig out for every cell as there are 6000. I am using: =VLOOKUP(D2,Working!A2:C23,2,FALSE) and want D2 to change accordingly but for working!A2:C23 to stay the same.

Drag Copying Formula Down While Skipping Cells In Adjacent Reference Column?

Feb 2, 2014

I have a spreadsheet with temperature data, all in one column (D), that was recorded every 10 minutes for several months. In two adjacent columns (E & F), I would like to record the daily max and min temperatures. I can manually do this with MAX and MIN formulas in column E and F respectively, MAX(D1:D144). But when I copy this formula to the next row, I get MAX(D2:D145) when what I really want is MAX(D145:D288)....and so on...

Excel 2010 :: Populate Cells From Listbox Drag / Drop - Can't Find First Empty Row On Worksheet

Feb 1, 2014

I am running Excel 2010 and Windows 7.

I have a form with a main list box and several other list boxes. I drag and drop records from the main list box to the others. When I drop a record onto one of the list boxes, a corresponding worksheet is updated with the same record. This works just fine.

The problem I have is:I close and re-open the form after having added some dataDrag/Drop a record to the list boxThe worksheet won't find the first empty rowExample: If the worksheet already contains 4 rows of data, I have to drag/drop 5 times before the fifth row will be updatedI would like to drop the data the first time and have the first blank row updated

Notes:

1.) I have tried variations of "xlUp", "xlDown", and SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell) in the "Worksheets("Monday")... line of code; all to no avail.

2.) The cells contain formatting (borders)

Here is the relevant code:

Code:

'Copy items from the list box to the worksheet
For intI = 1 To ListBox2.ListCount
For intJ = 1 To ListBox2.ColumnCount
If IsEmpty(Worksheets("Monday").Cells(intI + 1, intJ)) Then
Worksheets("Monday").Cells(intI + 1, intJ).Value = ListBox2.List(intI - 1, intJ - 1)
End If
Next intJ
Next intI

Static Formula Reference: Delete And Drag-and-drop Data To Get Rid Of Any Bogus Values

Jan 10, 2008

I making a template for multiple users to import data into for analysis. I want them to be able to delete and drag-and-drop data to get rid of any bogus values. However i need forumlas that reference those to NOT follow the values as there as moved. As a simple example say you have two columns, column A is a set of random numbers, column B is the number from coumn A times 2. If take the bottom half of column A and drag it up one cell, overwriting a cell, now the cell in column B next to the overwritten cell has a #REF err and ever cell below that now references a Cell in column A from the previous row. I want a formula that references a static address and will not follow the cell if it is moved.

If I use named ranges rather than specific cells references it works for the above example, however for my actual form it does not. Even though the ranges and formulas stay the same I start getting incorrect values. If there is no other way to this I will try to figure why the named ranges do not work.
