extend my formula with increments of 4 cells
I need to make a spreadsheet with formulas linking 2 pages together. The
formula is a IF formula and, going down the column, is in increments of 4 cells. ie: B4, B8, B12, etc. When I drag to fill the column with the formula it automatically goes B5, B9, B13, B6, B10, etc. Hoy do I fix this so it is one continuous stream of formulas incremented by 4 cells without writing in each one. (long list!!) |

The usual way is to use OFFSET(), but know what your formula is makes it
possible for somebody here to give you clear, concise advice. please post it so we can better help you "amoore" wrote: I need to make a spreadsheet with formulas linking 2 pages together.

extend my formula with increments of 4 cells
Duke,
Thanks, Here is my formula: =IF(Paid!E4<"",Paid!E4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!E8<"",Paid!E8," ") and =IF(Paid!B4<"",Paid!B4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!B8<"",Paid!B8," ") Each column has a different formula, always offset by 4 cells.

Couple of options:
First: =IF(OFFSET(Paid!E$4,4*(ROW(A1)-1),0)<"",OFFSET(Paid!E$4,4*(ROW(A1)-1),0)," ") Second: =IF(INDIRECT("paid!e"&ROW(A1)*4)< "",INDIRECT("paid!e"&ROW(A1)*4),"") & copy them down "amoore" wrote: Duke, Thanks, Here is my formula: =IF(Paid!E4<"",Paid!E4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!E8<"",Paid!E8," ") and =IF(Paid!B4<"",Paid!B4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!B8<"",Paid!B8," ") Each column has a different formula, always offset by 4 cells.

Duke,
thanks, your second one: =IF(INDIRECT("paid!e"&ROW(A1)*4)<"",INDIRECT("pai d!e"&ROW(A1)*4),"") this worked for my first 3 columns but then didn't when I needed to fill in the rest of my sheet. How do I fix the columns that need the formula to reference B5 (instead of B4) from my first sheet and then follow by every 4 intravals like the previous formula I submitted. example: B5, B9, B10 thanks, angela "Duke Carey" wrote: Couple of options: First: =IF(OFFSET(Paid!E$4,4*(ROW(A1)-1),0)<"",OFFSET(Paid!E$4,4*(ROW(A1)-1),0)," ") Second: =IF(INDIRECT("paid!e"&ROW(A1)*4)< "",INDIRECT("paid!e"&ROW(A1)*4),"") & copy them down "amoore" wrote: Duke, Thanks, Here is my formula: =IF(Paid!E4<"",Paid!E4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!E8<"",Paid!E8," ") and =IF(Paid!B4<"",Paid!B4," "), next row: =IF(Paid!B8<"",Paid!B8," ") Each column has a different formula, always offset by 4 cells.
