Help - copy a formula using the fill handle
I need to copy a formula to worksheet 1 from worksheet 2 - the formula needs
to fill by column and I can only get it to fill a series by row - does anyone know how to change so the formula will fill across my row in worksheet 1 by the answer going down the column from worksheet 2? |

Help - copy a formula using the fill handle
Let me restate your question to clarify:
Worksheet 2 contains a list of data in a column. You need to copy that data and paste it into wksht 1 as a row of data, instead of a column of data. Correct? |

Correct, in addition the data from worksheet 2 is a result (sum) of other
data within that worksheet. For instance on worksheet 1 cell (row) 5a,5b,5c,5d etc needs to be the answer from worksheet 2 cell (column) A5,A6,A7,A8 etc. - I do this type of task often and when I use handle fill it "fills" from second worksheet rows - i.e. A5,B5,C5,D5. Hope this is clear. "Dave O" wrote: Let me restate your question to clarify: Worksheet 2 contains a list of data in a column.

I don't think it's the formula but here it is: =SUM('Randall Sec'!C5)

Help - copy a formula using the fill handle
Here's a workaround for you.
1. Until you figure out if this works for you, please insert a new tab in your workbook, and enter the formula =sheet2!a5, then fill-handle that down through a8. 2. Highlight those formulas and do a search-and-replace: find the = sign and replace with the string xyz. This converts the dynamic formulas to static text strings. 3. Copy those text strings (that used to be formulas), select a new location for them, and Paste Special: check the Transpose box, and press OK. 4. Highlight that range, then search and replace: find xyz and replace with the = sign, which converts the static text strings back to formulas. Will this work for you? |
