How: Functions repeating...
I need to make a simple function in each row of this huge database. I need it
to repeat each row without me retyping. This database is about 6,000 rows and I don't have time to manually enter the formula each row. Basically I need to divide 2 numbers that are included in the same row to get a percentage. Here is a example of what I have to manually enter: =AD125/AB125 =AD126/AB126 =AD127/AB127 Can anyone tell me how to set some sort of 'numbering' type system to where it automatically enters the formula all the way down the column? Thanks in advance! Dan |

Enter the first one, then with that cell active:
you can double-click the little square in the bottom right corner of the cell if it's adjacent to the range, or you can press F5 (goto) and enter the address of the last cell you want this to go to, and HOLD THE SHIFT key before pressing OK, then use ctrl/D (or edit/fill/down) and you should be all set.

Hi Dan,
Assuming the data is all in cells A1:Z6000, , with the first row containing headers, here's what you do: 1) in cell AA2, type in the formula you need (might help to add this header in AA1) 2) Select Z2, then press Ctrl+Down 9this will take you to the last non-blank row. 3) Move one cell to the right 4) Press Ctrl+Shift+Up (this will highlight the entire range for you to copy the formula) 5) Press Ctrl+D (this will copy the formula into the highlighted cells) Should you wish to then amend the formula, simply highlight the entire range for which you want the formula to be copied into, type the new formula into the first cell, and press Ctrl+Enter Hope this helps Warm regards Sunil Jayakumar "DanStephens" wrote in message ...

Enter the first formula in a cell in any unused column then....... Select the fill handle(small black lump at bottom right corner of that cell) and drag down 6000 rows to copy/increment as per your example. If you have continuous data in an adjacent column just double-click on the fill handle to copy/increment down.
