Copy Cells Formula
I imported from a database program, but now have a mix of language and data
on my spreadsheet,a small sample follows: Task No. AF-1880M Description MONTHLY INSPECTION OF HINGE FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR Maint/Toolroom MAINTENANCE Date Last Performed 07-10-15 Fortunately, the items imported in same-sized chunks, so I can sort similar data by going to a new worksheet and maintaining a constant interval. In cell A1 I type 'Sheet1!D13', in cell A2 'Sheet1!D23', cell A3 'Sheet1!D33'. I would like to select these 3 cells and drag down to continue the pattern D43,D53, etc., but the next six cells come out as D16,D26,D36, D19,D29,D39. Help! |

At the top of any column:

It is a beautiful thing. Since the data program is constantly updated,
altering the INDIRECT formula as needed to extrapolate data will save me many hours going forward.

I agree.
It is a neat way to have one column "sample" from another. Pick up every fourth or fifth item, etc. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200764 "archsmooth" wrote: It is a beautiful thing.
