Formulas
How can I apply a formula to (an) entire column(s), with results applied to
individual rows? For instance, if I want every row to divide column D by C and enter the result in column E. Do I have to enter the formula for each and every row using the "=D2/C2" formula in the E2 column, then "=D3/C3" in the E3 column, etc., one at a time? I hope I'm being clear! Thanks |

One way:
Enter E2: =D2/C2 Drag the fill handle (lower right corner of cell) down as far as required. Another: Select the cells to enter the formula in (say, E2:E1000 - you can type that into the Name Box followed by Enter, to select). Enter =D2/C2 and type CTRL-ENTER. XL will adjust the formula as needed. In article , Mitch wrote: How can I apply a formula to (an) entire column(s), with results applied to individual rows?

You only need to type the formula once.
1. Hilight cells E2 thru say E100 2. type =D2/C2 but touch CNTRL-ENTER rather than just ENTER The formula will be applied to all the hilighted cells with the proper adjustments. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200750 "Mitch" wrote: How can I apply a formula to (an) entire column(s), with results applied to individual rows?

If you have data in column D, type the formula =D2/C2 in E2.
Double-click on the fill handle of E2 to copy down with cell references incrementing.
