How To Skip Columns When Dragging Formulas
Dec 3, 2013
I have 2 sheets in my excel document. The first sheet (sheet1) has student data (grade they got on a test) from C5:C35 all in 1 column. On the 'second' sheet (sheet3), I have made a profile for each student (there are 30 of them, spread out 1 per printable page). I want to take Sheet1!C5 result and put it in sheet3!D7. The formula in sheet3!D7 would just be =sheet1!C5. I want to 'drag' that formula to L7, then to T7 then to AB7 etc etc (they are all 8 columns apart), obviously not affecting any of the cells between them.
There are 12 pieces of data in sheet1 that I want to auto update in sheet3, for 30 students, so copy pasting, and adjusting the formula would take a long time.

How do you make the Autofill function increment in blocks, e.g. instead of increment 1,2,3 increment 1,8,15 inthe following example: I have a 2 worksheets, one with days of the year across columns and values down rows, and another that summarises the sum of the corresponding days in weeks, so I have 365 columns in sheet 1 and 52 columns in sheet2. Everytime I update the sum range i cannot autofill it in the summary worksheet, as A1:G1 autofills to B1:H1, but I want it to increment to H1:N1.

I have used VLookup function to reference some information between books. The formula used is:
=VLOOKUP('[Book1.xls]Sheet1'!$A15,'[Book1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$7:$BA$67,12,0)
When I drag down I want the formula to skip from $A15 to $A25 and so on. Is there a way to do this? Or am I better off using another formula?
What I am trying to achieve is:
Book2 Cell D54 = Book1 Cell L15
Book2 Cell D55 = Book1 Cell L25
Book2 Cell D56 = Book1 Cell L35

How figure out how to drag down a formula that looks like this for the first three cells (C3:C5)?
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D2:D5,Polls!B2:B5))/(SUM(Polls!B2:B5))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D8:D11,Polls!B8:B11))/(SUM(Polls!B8:B11))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D14:D17,Polls!B14:B17))/(SUM(Polls!B14:B17))
...etc.
Is there a way to let Excel know that I'm adding six to each cell, rather than it automatically adding one?

I would like to drag down the formula from the last cell in Column A in reference to the last row in column B.
E.g My last data in Column A104 (code to select the last cell and this can vary from time to time the report is updated)
Column B has data till B142. I want to drag A104(contains formulas) down to A142.
Here is what I have but Selection Autofill doesn't work.
Range("A2").End(xlToRight).Select
Range("A2").End(xlDown).Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A3:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row), Type:=xlFillDefault

I have a long list of inventory parts and there can be additions or deletions at any time. Currently the inventory is determined using formulas from other worksheets and this uses formulas. If I have a user insert a row to create a part in inventory, is there a way to make the formulas automatically be created in the cells within the row?

If I need to replicate a formula in some cells, I usually drag it down or sideways. Is there any easier way to do this? I have large numbers of cells into which to drag the formula. Can I specify which cell range the formula is applicable to (i.e. A1:A10,000 or something) instead of dragging? If so how?

I have a huge spreadsheet requiring me to manually enter alot of fields with formulas. I am using the formula
=COUNTIFS('A1'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5)+(COUNTIFS('A2'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))+(COUNTIFS('A3'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))
The full formula is quite long as this pick up the data off over 300 work sheets. (there's probably an easier way to do this aswell) When I copy or drag this to another cell with on the same worksheet it gives me the correct formular with the correct cells changes as I want. However this formular does not work. I have auto calculate on and I manually press enter on the cells and still nothing. If I change the following for the entire formula (about 8min to do each cell) it works
=COUNTIFS('A1'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5)+(COUNTIFS('A2'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))+(COUNTIFS('A3'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))
Is there an easier alternative then manually changing each number?

I can't modify my formula to leave blank cells blank when dragging it down, Also, I've got two formulas that i need to combine. Please view the comments I've put in cells E4, F2,F3,H2 and I2 to understand clearly what am seeking. See the attached worksheet.

I want to drag a formula however i want one of the values of the formula to change and the other not to change. for example:
c1=a1+b1
c2=a1+b2
c3= a1+b3
: : :
how can i make it do this when i drag? a1 is not just a constant and it depends on other parameters.

I use the formula below to sum hours in a spreadsheet:
=((((SUM(B6:AP6)+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"x")*12.5))+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"d")*12.5))+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"m")*12.5)) +(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"e")*6))
I would like to be able to change the range from "B6:AP6" to something which will start with B6 but only count every 6th cell up to AP 6. I could probably place a symbol at the top of each column I wish to count if needed. If I try to simply choose every sixth cell I get an error about too many arguments for the countif function The above formula is used to add hours for various shifts (symbolized by letters). For my current need I do not need the multiplier i just need to count how many of each letter appear in every sixth cell of a row.
This may be too fancy but if one formula would work to count every 6th cell starting with B6 and give me a sum , then automatically do the same starting with B7 and count every 6th cell etc...that would be great. I am trying to sum the number of each occurrences of each shift at each of 6 locations.

I am working on a =transpose function. Pretty simple right? Well now I am trying to have it SKIP/SELECT certain columns.
I have =transpose("date!B1:T1"), but now I want to "Select A,B,D,E,F"
=TRANSPOSE(INDIRECT("date!B1:T1"),"select A,B,D,E,F,G,H,P,Q,R,S,T")

I have below a code that is selecting from A11 down as far as there is data and across a certain number of columns then sets a print area.
Currently the columns go A, B, JW, JX, JY, JZ, KA, KB as C through to JV are hidden. I have tried to offset the columns by 7 to see if it will select A-KB but it is selecting cells that are hidden and only selecting A-G. I need it to go past the hidden columns. Here is the code:
[Code] ......
Could I also get a code to go from A10 and move over to KB and create a range from there e.g. KB-KJ and last row from there?

A post about skipping rows is very similar to my situation, but I'm stuck on how to translate that for columns. (Filling formulas but need to skip cells)
I'd like to transfer information from a worksheet called "Raw Data" to another sheet, skipping every 5th column. I'd like to go from "Raw Data" B12 to a new sheet C6, then from "Raw Data" G12 to D6 in the new sheet, and so forth.
I figured out that I'll need to use COLUMN()*5-13 as a component of the function, but I can't seem to figure out how to format the name of the worksheet correctly, with the ampersand and quotation marks.
This doesn't work at all, but I think it's in the ballpark...
=INDIRECT("Raw Data!"(COLUMN()*5)-13)&12)

Is it possible to apply a formula with a relative reference to an entire column? I have a very long, constantly updated datasheet for pivot tables and this would be a most helpful thing to know.

I would now like to as remove the first column and add another column a and b. A would say "Service From Date" and column B would say "Service To Date" In addition I would like to add a column between "5202 Meals Provided" and "5221 S.A. Facility Lodging" a column that reads "7025 Number of Days Care" and that tallies like the rest of them.

I'm working on a project that spans three sheets. A2:A151 of Sheet 1 and 2 is a list of names. The names may repeat and they probably won't fill all 150 rows. What I'd like to do with formulas is combine Sheet 1 and 2 into a single list in Column A of Sheet 3 without repeating names or showing blanks. I'm fine with multiple formulas and hiding columns, whatever needs to be done to make it work. Is this possible?

I have column AD where there are something like 2,500+ formulas. I would like to change the columns used in the formulas around. By that I mean the first formula is...
Code:
=SUM(AA6-X6)
...and I would like it to be...
Code:
=SUM(X6-AA6)
Now the thing is, the formulas are not continuous, there are breaks where there is a formula to sum say the previous dozen or so for example, then it skips a couple of rows and I have more formulas and then the sum say for the previous dozen for example and so on.
I just want those cells changed with the particular formulas as above.

I need to 'fill down' a series of formulas in several columns - but the number of rows I need to fill down will vary dependent on my raw data.
See attached file.
Worksheet 1 - contains the raw data which is copied and pasted in from an external source. In this example, there are 20 records.
Worksheet 2 - brings in the raw data from worksheet 1 and does some calculations. The formulas are in the first 30 rows - in case the number of records grow. But what happens if the number of records is, say, 40?
I have a much bigger workbook in reality - so having too many formulas will increase the file size.

in my workbook: in sheet1 i have many cells with formulas which calculates values from sheet2. I also have a macro which is used often that will arrange and prepare data in sheet2, including adding some columns.
The problem is that after these columns are added, the formulas in sheet1 will be changed, even if I used f4 ($) in the formulas.
how can I freeze these formulas? I think a solution is to include the formulas in sheet1 in the macro I'm running for sheet2. But I would like to avoid this.

I have a very simple inventory spreadsheet that I used to keep track of certain products. The issue is that I often have to insert new columns and when I do, the formulas get convoluted. Is there a trick to making them follow the structure of the formula before?
My formula is =SUM(GT4:GU4) and appears in the Running Total column. When I insert two columns - a white column where an order will be inserted, as well as a running total column. When I perform the insert, the formula for the inserted columns, as well as the set of columns immediately to the right require corrections:
Inserted columns: =SUM(GT4:GW4) [Should be GV4:GW4]
Columns to the right: =SUM(GV4:GY4) [Should be GX4:GY4]
I know how to manipulate the formulas correctly, I would like to keep a clean file for my predecessor.

I currently have formulas in a column setup (equations are not actual)...
Cell B1: =IF(A2>A3,"Y","")
Cell C1: =IF(B2>B3,''Y",''")
Cell D1: =IF(C2>C3,"Y","")
....
I want to switch these to one long row from one long column so that they span from Cell A1, A2, etc.
When I special paste or straight paste it obviously alters the formulas because I am also unable to cell lock the current formulas.
I am wondering if there is an easy way to convert my formulas, currently along a column, to a row? Or if there is also a way to cell lock a large amount of cells at once?

I have this in my Macro:............
My Macro runs fine when there is something in Cell S2 but if there is not then I get an error on "Cells(sumrownum, 19).Value = "Total" 'Column S". What I want to do is put a if then type of statement that if S2 is empty the it will skip down to "Columns("W:X").Select" and keep going with the rest of my macro.

I need to list only the unique values in a range found in multiple columns. Some cells are blank. I need to list all the unique values in numeric and/or alphanumeric order in another column within the same worksheet. I would prefer non-array formulas, if possible. See the attached file.
In the attached table, I have 5 columns and 5 rows of values in the range B2:F6. The unique values, in order, are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. This looks simple and can be done manually if the file is small but I have 150 columns and 150 rows, thus the need for automation.

I was wondering if there was an easy way to copy columns (headings) and the formulas to a new sheet. I'm currently working on Sheet 1, need to copy everything onto a new sheet so I can keep things separated by week..
Example, Sheet 1 is Week October 30th, would like my 2nd sheet to have same exact headings and formulas which I would then rename to Week Nov. 1st etc..
Also, is there a way that I can then copy the 4 sheets that would make up a month into a new spreadsheet so I can then start December...

I need some VBA code that puts in formulas to pull data in various columns within row 2 of another worksheet.
The formulas need to be entered below some other data, which is populated from another prior macro.
The below code works well but as the prior macro can populate a different number of rows on different days, the Row count then also changes and doesn't always refer to row 2 of 'HLDRT before' tab.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF('HLDRT before'!R[-22]C[-18] = ""A17"",RIGHT('HLDRT before'!R-20C[14],3)&'HLDRT before'!R-20C[9]&'HLDRT before'!R-20]C[-13],"""")"
Is there a way I can tell the above code to always use row 2 from the 'HLDRT before' sheet, while keeping the column number lookups the same?
I think there is a way to do it by removing the [] signs but I can't get it to work. I also then need the macro to copy these down so I'm not sure if using $ will cause problems?
