I have a several rows of formulae that refer to a constant at the upper left
corner of the range of formulae. I use an absolute cell reference to refer to the constant, and many relative relative references in rows of formulae. I want to copy this range of work and paste it several rows below the original. However, I want to use a different constant for the second range of formulae. Since I used an absolute reference in my original work, the pasted formulae still refer to my original constant. How can I make the reference to the original constant be absolute, yet relative to each range of formulae so I can change the constant each time I paste the range of formulae? For example: A1=7 B2=100, C2=B2+A$1 B3=105, C3=B3+A$1 B4=110, C4=B4+A$1 Now, copy this range A1:C4 and paste down at A15, now we have: A15=7 B16=100, C16=B16+A$1 B17=105, C17=B17+A$1 B18=110, C18=B18+A$1 However, what I really wanted was for A$15 to be my new constant (so I could change the number in that cell) for this new range of formulae. My actual formulae are much more numerous and complicated that this and I am trying not to have to go in and manually change each cell reference for the constant on my new range. It seems like I need some kind of formula in my original constant cell reference (A$1) that will allow it to change when it is pasted elsewhere. I have tried INDIRECT and OFFSET, but can't come up with a way to make them work. Many thanks in advance for your thoughts. |
