Question about repeated usage of a formula
Here is my question (BTW, I am using Excel 2003):
I have a table of values, and I have given each column in the table a name (created with Insert|Name|Define). For instance, these names may be something like Price | Weight | Volume | Age | etc., beginning at address A10 100 | 3 | 10 | 6 | 20 | 5 | 7 | 1 | Now, I want to create a new column with values derived from the values in this table. The difficulty is that I would like to have the formula (for instance, =Weight/Volume) in one place only (say, cell B1), in such as way that I can change the formula in B1 and cause the change to propagate to the entire new column of my table. In essence, what I would like is a function that says: evaluate the formula in $B$1 as if that formula had been written in the current cell. It's something like =offset($b$1,0,0) or =indirect("$B$1"), but for formulas involving Names. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gabriel |
