Help with simple formula
My formula is very simple. All it entails is =I50*.17 The next formula would
be =I52*.17..... and so on 54, 56, 58, etc. I don't want to have to manually enter every cell's formula with the appropriate #. Is there any way to get Excel to recognize the pattern and know that 2 cells down I am going to enter the formula again? I figure if I can think this up than it can be done. Thanks a million!! Nick |

Help with simple formula
Try putting in =I50*.17 , highlight that cell and the blank one below it then
use the fill handle. -- John MOS Master Instructor Please reply & rate any replies you get Ice Hockey rules (especially the Wightlink Raiders) "fret_less" wrote: My formula is very simple.

Help with simple formula
I think you've confused 150 with I50.
Instead try =OFFSET(I50,ROW()-1,0)*0.17 in row 1, and copy down. -- David Biddulph "Gary''s Student" wrote in message ...

Help with simple formula
I had intended to say =OFFSET(I$50,2*(ROW()-1),0)*0.17 as I thought that the
OP was wanting to step down two rows in column I for every one row going down in the formula, but the formula I gave will give the same result. However looking at the original message again, I see that the OP wanted blank rows between the formulae, so other suggestions posted are more suitable. -- David Biddulph "David Biddulph" wrote in message ...
