row= cell's row
I have a spreadsheep of 2 cells that need to be calculated by a third cell that is on the same row as the other 2 cells. But, the rows are always different as each row is added. Is there a function for a formula where the row = the current row that the cell processing the formula is in? ie. Instead of: =B2-(B2*C2) =Bthisrownumber-(Bthisrownumber*Cthisrownumber) Is something like this even possible to do? Seems like it should be. I'm really trying to make this make sense you all. It's hard though as I'm not a programmer and not that good with excel yet.

row= cell's row
Hi Ben
Just copy the formula down the page and it will change automatically to B3-(C3*C3) and so on. This is because the references are all relative. You can make the Column an Absolute reference by putting a $ sign in front of it =$B2-($C2*$C2) where the column won't change as you copy across, but the row would change as you copy down. Conversely you can make the Row reference Absolute by prefixing with a $ sign =B$2-(C$2*C$2) where the column will alter as you copy across but the row will be fixed. Finally, prefixing both column and row with $ sign fixes the cell to be absolute and it won't change at all as you copy down or across =$B$2-($C$2*$C$2) -- Regards Roger Govier "wptech" wrote in message ...

Hmm, thanks for the response, the only problem is is this is dynamically created from database. So, it's not me that's copying and pasting, it's actually a program that on my website that has the formula hard coded and I was seeing if I could make that row number dynamic as it was imported in from the remote database. I think I'm going to have to do it dynamically from the start in the php code and then import it in as a solid number.

Hi Ben
Maybe the following =INDIRECT("B"&ROW())-(INDIRECT("B"&ROW())*INDIRECT("C"&ROW())) -- Regards Roger Govier "wptech" wrote in message ...
