Is it possible to drag the cell with a formula in it so that it can be repeated with a pattern changing? Might sound confusing, what I mean is can i put 'worksheet name'!A2 and then 'worksheet name'!A3 to the right of it and then select both and drag to the right so that the number goes up while the letter stays the same. I've tried using $ to make it absolute but excel just keeps repeating the same two squares without changing the number. -- tpsstudent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tpsstudent's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36256 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560501 |

You can't do it that way. OK dragging down a column but not across a row
Enter in B1 =INDIRECT("'worksheet name'!A" & COLUMN()) Drag/copy across.

Don't know what you mean.
Can you elaborate a bit, please. In your original, you wanted to transpose column data to row data. Fill in the column area with whatever you want your formulas to return. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:51:58 -0400, tpsstudent wrote: What would I fill in the column area with? |

I'm Sorry, I mean in the formula that you posted originally =INDIRECT("'worksheet name'!A" & COLUMN()) What would I put in the parenthesis after COLUMN? so that it would count the correct number or columns? -- tpsstudent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tpsstudent's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36256 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560501 |

You put nothing in the () after COLUMN(see last sentence of this post for
exceptions) COLUMN() is a worksheet function that requires no arguments. =COLUMN() just returns the number of whatever column it is entered. If you enter the formula in A1 you would return the value from worksheet name!A1 If entered in B1 you would return the value from worksheet name!A2 Drag/copy across to return A3, A4, A5 up to A256 ROW() works the same down a column. You could start at D1 column and enter COLUMN(-3) which is 3 columns left of D..............column A Gord On Wed, 12 Jul 2006 18:30:36 -0400, tpsstudent wrote: I'm Sorry, I mean in the formula that you posted originally =INDIRECT("'worksheet name'!A" & COLUMN()) What would I put in the parenthesis after COLUMN? so that it would count the correct number or columns? |
