I have a large spreadsheet that I enter data into from one of our
laboratory instruments. Data Initially got dumped into cell i10.
Columns a-f contain various formulas (which are mostly used as lookups
for other workbooks) that are dependant on whether there is a value in
the cell i10. Each Column has a different formula.

At the moment, everytime i enter in new data, for eg in cell i11, i12,
i13 etc, select the range from a-f then I drag the fill handle
downwards to populate the new rows so that my formulas are repeated.
(I elected not to populate the formula in anticipation for the growth
in data to row 65000 as the workbook size became to big and
performance was slow).

If there a way to populate the relevant row in colum a-f by copying
the formulas down automaically?

Thanks

Cameron

select a-f of the rank below the populated row and do Ctrl+d

If you want code, turn on the macro recorder while you do it manually.

Thnx Tom - didn't know about the ctrl+D Function . . .

Also Tried it with macro recorder as automated function preferred in
my situation.

My code was something this but it's requires manual update - not real
practical.

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
' Macro recorded 2/11/2004 by SFES
'

Range("A10:Y10").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A10:Y20")
Range("A10:Y20").Select
End Sub


Was hoping for more dynamic functionality to last row etc....I sourced
this (which I modified - columns a-y now repeat formulas starting at
row 10)

http://groups.google.com.au/groups?h...3D0% 26sa%3DN

Sub Fill_Down()
Range([a10], [y10].End(xlDown)).FillDown
End Sub

Problem is that for 70 rows for eg - takes over 5 mins to run . . . .
Any suggestions.


Cameron
