Dragging a formula
Dear,
I need to drag a simple reference formula =A7 in such a way that it follows a pattern. Something like... =a7 =a14 =a21 =a28 =a35 Can you please help me in doing this? |
Dragging a formula
Type A7 in the top cell
type A14 in the next cell Select both cells Drag down as far as you need Select the range Edit|replace what: A with: =A replace all Sasikiran wrote: Dear, I need to drag a simple reference formula =A7 in such a way that it follows a pattern.

Dragging a formula
Try this
=INDIRECT("A"&(COLUMN()-1)*7) in Col B and copy across Basically build a formula like (COLUMN()-1)*7 which gives you the number to append to the letter A to get the reference... This refers to A7 when entered in Col B If you want to start at, say A1189 then use =INDIRECT("A"&(1182+(COLUMN()-1)*7)) Row() and Column() give you the row number and column number of the cell containing the formula. ------------------------------------- Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

Dragging a formula
Dear Sheeloo,
This formula is working fine when I'm trying to drag the formula to RIGHT in the same row. =INDIRECT("A"&(747+(COLUMN()-1)*7)) It is referring to A747 when inserted in A1189, and when it was dragged to RIGHT in the same row, in B1189 it was referring to A754 and so on... Actually i want to drag the formula to DOWN in the same column like... Referring A747 in A1189 A754 in A1190 A761 in A1191 I have tried all possibilities in the above formula but not able to get the desired result :( Sorry for troubling you more...

Try this in A1189 and copy down Col A
=INDIRECT("A"&(747+(ROW()-1189)*7)) You have mentioned Actually i was looking for a formula which i can paste in the same row... Which means copy across in A1189 Like... =A747 in A1189 =A754 in A1190 Which is what this formula will do ------------------------------------- Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...
