Increment By X When Dragging Cells Down
Jan 5, 2008I need to check the result of the difference between 2 cells in the same column. But It needs to be done with an increment of 2 e.g. A2-A1 then A4-A3 and so on.

I have data in worksheets that make up the 52 weeks of the year. Each sheet is numbered like this "WK1" "WK2" and so on... up to "WK52"
Each sheet is setup exactly the same so all cells are the same.
So I have a summary sheet that structures the data from all the week sheets to plot to graph all within the same file.
Thing is when I link the first cell to the first sheet say WK1 and then try to drag the formula down to the worksheet number does not increment
Tried the code in the beginning of this post and it displays the worksheet and cell number in the cell cant get the actual data to be displayed.
When I drag this formula down I want it to index the worksheet number
=WK44!$AG$14
Like this
=WK44!$AG$14
=WK45!$AG$14
=WK46!$AG$14
This is what I get in the cell when I use the formula given in the post
WK01! $AG$14
As per this screenshot,
I am trying to work out a method which will allow me to drag the forumula which is in cell B13 from B13:B17, and have in increase the date serial number by one for each row by which it descends.
In other words I want to drag the formula down to, say B14, and have it increase the date serial to = that which is in cell A14.
[the obvious benefit of being able to do this is that I don't have to manually adjust the date serial in each cell on each new row]
Is there a way to protect a sheet from a user dragging a cell?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to easily drag the sum of certain cells in a different column BUT keeping a specific range, it's hard to explain so i'll show an example...
A1
A2

A5
A6
A7
A8
B1=SUM(A1:A4)
B2=SUM(A4:A7)
B3=SUM(A8:A11)
And so on...
Is there any way I can do this by dragging down the cell formula from B1 and it remembering the range of 4, so I don't have to manually select each range...?
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))

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf 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?

can i make it so i move any of the cells up or down a row or wherever and they will all move in a unit as if they were merged? i dont want to merge though because then that will screw up the data?
So I'm dragging my formula down one cell and as expected the reference cell changes the same amount when I really want the reference to shift Down that column 11 cell so when I take my formula
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L5:L11)),"",(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L5:L11)))
when I drag it down one cell the reference should look like this
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L16:L22)),"",(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L16:L22)))
I have a workbook with multiple sheets interacting with one another. On one of them the user is prompted to make lists of expenses in multiple columns. The column labels are in row one, and row two has the sums of all the cells below. I have every sheet in the workbook protected, so that only the cells that need to be modified are unlocked. The problem is that the user can drag cells around and change the range of the functions in row two (locked cells).
For example, A2 has the function =sum(A3:A100). But if the user drags the values in A3:A5 to A6:A8, the formula in A2 changes to =sum(A6:A100). Is there anyway that I can allow the user to drag cells (this could be a useful feature), but keep the formulas in the second row fixed?
Excel 2007. At the bottom of a column of data I'm trying to reference the cell $AG4. There are 340 total columns. Each additional column to the right needs to reference the next cell in column AG. So I'm trying to drag and copy horizontally from $AG4 to $AG340. When I try just the single column it just copies $AG4 into everything to the right. When I have to columns ($AG4 and $AG5) and grab both to try to copy horizontally the numbers increasing it just does $AG4, $AG5, $AG4, $AG5, etc.

In an excel book, I have sheets 1 to 50. In each sheet i have a standard format to enter the details. And in one sheet I want to keep some summary with required cells. I made a table by applying formula, for example in cell A1 i kept formula ='9'!$D$9. In this '9' refers sheet9. In the similar way i want to capture the data from all sheets.
A1 cell ='9'!$D$9
A2 cell ='10'!$D$9
A3 cell ='11'!$D$9....etc
Is there any formula to append the Sheet number automatically (like dragging the shell) intead changing sheet number manually. because it is wasting so much time.
The question that I have is as follows:
For i = 17 To FinalRow Step 14
'Select cells to examine based on For/Next loop Step...
Cells(i, 4).Activate
'Check for "value"...
If ActiveCell = Press Then
[Code]...
The "Cells(i, 4).Activate" statement steps my search criteria forward by the value of "i." The last thing that I want to do with this macro is to increment the value of A4, "Range ("A4").Select" and D6, "Range ("D6").Select" by the value of "i."
I would like to copy a large selection of hyperlniks down a column of 200 plus cells and would the hyperlink to increment as I drag the cells downwards.
Is there a simple way to copy and paste down a large selection of cells, so that I do not have to edit each hyperlink individually
Have enclosed example.
I have been frustrated trying figure out what I would assume is actually a pretty simple solution. All I am trying to do is grab a set of cells and repeat them down the column a set number of times. The 2 forms of this are discribed below.
A: I have a set of numbers from A1 to A51 I want to repeate those numbers down the columns 84 times.
B: In addition to this I need to have the cells from B1 to B51 Repeat 84 times but with an increment of 200 each time. So I would have say 1 in B1 - B51 and in B52 - B102 it would turn into 201 and so on and so forth.
I've got a column of IP addresses and want to increment the last octet. Starting with IP block in column A, I select those and drag to auto-fill to the right. Some cells increment and others don't. I'm using Excel 2003 on Windows XP.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn Column A, each cell up to A2197 has had data manually entered. A2194 has data AD453302085PIND, A2195 has data AD453302086PIND, A2196 has data AD453302087PIND.
Following on from A2197, I need to increment each cell by one number. I have modified the following solutions which were provided yesterday ="AD"&RIGHT(LEFT(A2196,5),3)+1&"PIND" and

In my spreadsheet, each row of data in Column B starts with 3 numerics (e.g. 001) followed by some text. For example:
Cell B2 contains '001 - Text for this cell'
Cell B3 contains '002 - Different Text for this cell',
Cell B4 contains '003 - Different Text for this cell', etc.
I have hundreds of rows which follow this format.
I have had to insert several rows in my spreadsheet in between existing rows which has thrown off the numbering in the first three positions of my Column B cells.
Is there any way to update the data in Column B so the text data in each cell is retained but the first 3 numeric values are updated and again sequential?
I am creating a spreadsheet which creates a bulk of data from a front sheet.
The question is:
Is there a way to automatically copy a fixed formula for 100 cells using one fixed cell reference such as $A$1 and then automatically after 100 cells replace $A$1 with $A$2, after another 100 with $A$3 and so on?
Explanation with Example:
For example, Sheet1 contains the words "Green Tree" in Cell A1 and Sheet2 will then place "Green Tree" into 100 different sentences such as:
Plant a Green Tree
Grow a Green Tree today
This would be created with the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$1& " today"
After 100 different variations using the formula I want to change that formula to reference cell A2 on Sheet1.
I know if I place "Red Tree" in Cell A2 and use the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$2& " today" I can do this manually using find and replace for the 100 cells, but I want to do this for 100 different variations of Green Tree to create a 10,000 different sentences so I'd need to find and replace 100 times!
Is it possible to write a formula that skips x number of cells and have the formula autoincrement as usual. For an examples lets say I want to skip 3 cells and I have entered in the cells listed:
A1= "1"
A2= "2"
A3= "3"
Then I type in the simple formula in the cell
B1= "=A1"
and then drag down but it skips 3 cells so then
B5= "=A2"
B9= "=A3"
If it didn't skip then
B1= "=A1"
B2= "=A2"
B3= "=A3"
this is just an example as I will be writing more complex formulas and need some thing that I can write into the formula so that it skips.
Something similar to this B1 "=A1(skip3cells)"

How Do You Drag This Formula Down A Column & Make It Progress And Still Have $'s

I have the following forumlas in consecutive Rows on Tab#2 of my file:
Row 1: =(Tab#1!B12 + Tab#1!B13)
Row 2: =(Tab#1!B24 + Tab#1!B25)
Row 3: =(Tab#1!B36 + Tab#1!B37)
Is there any way to drag this formula down the rows below it so that each time it continues this pattern. Just to be clear the pattern is that each time you drag down a row it goes 12 rows in the formula.
How can I have it so the column (letter) changes in succession rather than the row (number)? Here is my formula :
=SUMPRODUCT(('Web Queries Reference'!A$2:A$600<>-1)*('Web Queries Reference'!A$2:A$600))-0.01
I would like it to be this once I drag the cell formula down to the next row :
=SUMPRODUCT(('Web Queries Reference'!B$2:B$600<>-1)*('Web Queries Reference'!B$2:B$600))-0.01
In one sheet i have a table with 154450 lines from a software output converted in a table , in another sheet i made a table to 'sanitize' and make 'human-readable' the first one referring to some of the cells.
It works fine but, i have to drag the last line to repeat the formula and, as you can imagine, hard to think i will drag for 154450 lines ^^.
I have found an inconsistency in different PCs with respect to the method of producing incrementation when dragging a grab handle to an adjacent cell. In some PCs just dragging produces the effect, in others a key has to be held down during the drag. I'm sure there are detailed instructions about such a setting, but I have been unable to find them.
