Vlookup and autofill
Can i use autofill to increase the column count it looks in?
On row 1 for example I have =vlookup($b3,sheet1!$a:$cg,5,0) and i then want to increment it by 3 in the next column i.e. =vlookup($b3,sheet1!$a:$cg,8,0) and then =vlookup($b3,sheet1!$a:$cg,11,0) and so on. Thanks in your advance for your help |

That used to bug me as well.
What you need to do is set up something so that an autofill will work across as well as down. So instead of =vlookup($b3,sheet1!$a:$cg,5,0) you will have =vlookup($b3,sheet1!$a:$cg,c$1,0) drag this across and down and it will be d$1, e$1 etc etc then put value 5 in cell d1, and in cell e1 put =d1+3, and drag that across to the right.

As a P.S.
I have tried replacing the 5 at the end with COLUMN(E1),0 but the auto fill only increases the increment by 1 Thnaks "LostwithoutLost" wrote: Can i use autofill to increase the column count it looks in?
