Hmm Still stuck
I have a file on excel that contains many text entries of peoples names.....
A10 has Ken in it A11 has Bill in it A12 has Alan in it etc etc etc.... I want to copy these names over to K10 K11 K12.............. The first column is set for text......but i tried the autosum and told it that K10 = A10,,,,i thought it would just copy the text of the persons name but it didnt, it just has =SUM(A10) in the cell. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure there must be a simple solution but i'm stuck and can't find it. Can you put me out of my misery and tell me what i'm doing wrong. Many Many thanks Dave :)) |

Why does copy/paste take "yonks"? You can copy a virtually unlimited number of
cells in one operation. Or, if you design your spreadsheet properly, copy the whole column. It's a simple two-step operation -- done in less than 5 seconds. -- Regards, Fred "DB" wrote in message k...
