Answer: Dragging across columns: I want column constant, but row increment
Hi CM,
Yes, there is a way to achieve what you want to do. You can use a combination of the $ symbol and the ROW function to achieve this.
Here are the steps:
- In the first cell where you have the formula =I28, add a $ symbol before the "I" to make it =$I28. This will keep the column constant when you drag the formula across columns.
- Next, replace the row number "28" with the ROW function. The ROW function returns the row number of the cell where it is used. So, if you use the ROW function without any argument, it will return the row number of the cell where the formula is used.
- So, the final formula in the first cell will be =IROW(). This will return the value in cell I28.
- Now, when you drag the formula across columns, the column reference will remain constant as =$I28, but the ROW function will increment the row number as you drag the formula across columns.
- So, the formulas from left to right will be =IROW(), =IROW()+1, =IROW()+2, and so on.
Hope this helps!
