Example only....adjust ranges and cities.

You have a table A1:J10

Leave A1 blank.

Say A2:A10 contains city and B1:J1 contains city1

e.g

A2 = Quebec
B1 = Quebec1

A3 = Ottawa
C1 = Ottawa1

A4 = Timmins
D1 = Timmins1

B2:J10 contains mileages.

One method is to select the entire table A1:J10 then choose
InsertNameCreate, and select top row and left column.

Then use the intersect functionality:

=city city1

In above example =quebec ottawa1


This will return the value of the cell at the intersection of city and city1

Hi,

I'm interested in creating a distance table by the easiest possible way in
Excel 2003. With a list of places going down the sheet, can anyone suggest
how I get a formula to copy these cells into other cells going along the top?
I assume this could be adapted or directly used to duplicate distances as
neccassary. For example

Place1 Place2 Place3...
Place1 0 6 4
Place2 6 0 2
Place3.... 4 2 0

Any ideas appreciated.
