How funny can XL be?
I entered three random values in a1-c1 and summed them up in D1 hen, selected A1-D1 and dragged along the row. H1 does give the sum of E1-G1, but where do these cells get there values? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Funny.xlsx | |Download: http://www.thecodecage.com/attachmen...attachmentid=3 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Pecoflyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pecoflyer's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=24206 |

When you dragged the cells along the row, Excel may have auto-increment the values based on what it sees as the pattern you have entered. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Pecoflyer" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Further clarification, if necessary: You have 3 cells with number and the fourth cell sums those three numbers. Now you drag to the right and Excel figures you want to copy what is in those cells to corresponding positions. So E1 is a copy of A1, F1 is a copy of B1, G1 is a copy of C1 and H1 is a copy of D1. A1:C1 have random numbers so E1:G1 have random numbers (or Excel's linear regression calculation of those numbers) and H1 has a copy of D1 which is a relative formula saying sum the three cells to the left. E1:G1. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Pecoflyer" wrote: I entered three random values in a1-c1 and summed them up in D1 hen, selected A1-D1 and dragged along the row.

Thx for your explanation I'll have a look at the linear regression thing ( long way back) -- Pecoflyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pecoflyer's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=24206 |
