Advancing Down A List
Greetings,
I have a list of names in column A of sheet 1, I want to have a dynamic copy of this list in column A of sheet 2. Sheet 2 uses 3 rows per record and sheet one uses one row per record. I tried the usual A2+1 in A3 and got the #VALUE! error. How can I advance each record on sheet 2 so that it matches sheet 1? Any help would be appreciated. -Minitman |

Advancing Down A List
Assuming names are listed in Sheet1, in A1 down
In Sheet2, Put in the starting cell, say, A1: =IF(MOD(ROW(A1),3)=1, INDIRECT("Sheet1!A"&INT((ROWS($A$1:A1)-1)/3)+1),"") Copy A1 down as far as required The above will return the names from Sheet1 in sequence, interspersed with 2 blank rows in-between each name -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "Minitman" wrote in message ...

And if you're simply wanting to "triplicate" the names over from Sheet1,
just use in the starting cell in Sheet2, and copy down: =INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!A"&INT((ROWS($A$1:A1)-1)/3)+1) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- |

Advancing Down A List
Hey Max,
Thanks for the reply. Does it make any difference if each set of three cells on sheet 2 are merged or do I need to unmerge them? Looking forward to your reply. -Minitman On Mon, 5 Dec 2005 11:25:50 +0800, "Max" wrote: And if you're simply wanting to "triplicate" the names over from Sheet1, just use in the starting cell in Sheet2, and copy down: =INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!A"&INT((ROWS($A$1:A1)-1)/3)+1) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 |
