copy/paste won't refer to the appropriate range of cells
my worksheet first has columns representing the months of the year for 5
years. i.e. - jan '06, feb '06....nov '10, dec '10 then are colums representing the quarters for only 2 years i.e - qtr 1 '06...qtr 4 '07 so the cell under qtr 1 '06 will have the formula =sum a1:a3 the cell under qtr 2 '06 will have the formula =sum a4:a6 and so on How can I copy/paste the cells I currently have to the cells for the last 3 years worh of quarters (qtr1 '08-qtr4 '09) and still keep the proper references? When i try to copy/paste or copy/paste special or auto fill, excell desn't properly fill in the formulas. if the cell i try to copy refers to, say, a21 - a23, the first copied cell will refer to a22-a24 instead of a24 - a26. i have about 20 worksheets with this problem both for the quraters and for the years and I'm getting tired of changing it all by hand! Thanks for your help! |

Thanks for your help! You can copy the formula 3 (or more, depending if you are summing a quarter, a semester or a full year) positions away from that you need and than delete the empty rows/columns unneeded. -- Hope I helped you. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Ciao Franz Verga from Italy |
