Copied Cells do not run Series consecutively...
I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem I have... I am trying to copy a series of formulas from 9 rows above. It would make sense to use the fill handle to highlight the formulas and copy down the series. But the series, is not running the formulas consecutively. For example the first three rows (Cells D2:D4) are copying a cell reference (A2) stored as a number from a previous sheet. The next three rows (Cells D5:D7) copy the next cell reference (A3)(one below) in the same sheet. And the last three rows (Cells D8:D10) copy or link to the next cell reference (A4)( one below, again ). I just want the fill handle to continue this process or series. But for some reason, it starts the formula by jumping down to the eleventh cell reference on the previous sheet (skipping over cell 4 through 10 ). I've tried everything to continue the series including the Edit, Fill, Series function (linear and growth with and with out Trend). What am I missing? I'd like to get this done with having to type up all these missing rows myself. |

Hi!
Not sure exactly what you want. It sounds like you want to repeat a reference to a cell 3 times then increment the reference to the next cell: D2 = =A2 D3 = =A2 D4 = =A2 D5 = =A3 D6 = =A3 D7 = =A3 D8 = =A4 D9 = =A4 D10 = =A4 D11 = =A5 D12 = =A5 D13 = =A5 etc If that's what you want: =INDEX(A$2:A$10,CEILING(ROWS($1:1)/3,1)) Biff "Gucci" wrote in message oups.com...

Biff,
That worked very well for me! Your input is very much appreciated. Gus Biff wrote: Hi! Not sure exactly what you want.
