Possible to auto-fill in gaps between numbers on straight line bas
Guys,
I have some time series data but with gaps in between. Is there a way to get Excel to fill in the blanks between two numbers on a straight line basis? Eg: If I have in A1 the number 5 and in A4 the number 11, is there a way to automatically fill A2 with 7 and A3 with 9? Thanks in advance. |

Possible to auto-fill in gaps between numbers on straight line bas
Hi,
the auto-fill (fill handle) can't do this. If you knew that the cells would always have two blank cells between them you can use a formula. If 5 is in A1 and 11 in A4 the formula in A2 would be =A1+(A$4-A$1)/3 And copy this down. If the number of blanks can vary, say your first number is in D1 and the second in D5 then a more general approach would be =D1+(D$5-D$1)/(ROWS($D$1:$D$5)-1) enter this formula in D2 and fill it down. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "sticky" wrote: Guys, I have some time series data but with gaps in between.
