 Posted: Wed May 12, 2010 4:21 pm Post subject: Auto filling rows with columns |
 |
|
When I try to autofill rows from sheet 1 with columns from sheet 2 the column letter doesn't go up by one. I am trying to auto fill column B with data for each row coming from another sheet.
b2=Sheet2.b31, b3=Sheet2.c31, b4=Sheet2.d31, ect.
When I click the corner and drag down it fills b31,b32,b33,b34, etc.
I am looking for a way to increment the letter/column by one. I manually did 5 to see if auto fill would work but it just copied and repeated the 5 I entered. |

One way using OFFSET... | Code: |
=OFFSET(Sheet2.B$31;ROW($A1)-1;0) |
If you don't want the zeros that are returned when the Sheet2 cell is blank you can include the T function if you're working with text values...
| Code: | | =T(OFFSET(Sheet2.B$31;ROW($A1)-1;0)) |
or... | Code: | | =IF(OFFSET(Sheet2.B$31;ROW($A1)-1;0)="";"";OFFSET(Sheet2.B$31;ROW($A1)-1;0)) |
if numbers or numbers and text are involved.

| I will try this, I was looking for solution but couldn't come close. I tried this in Excel and it did the same thing with column not auto filling down the rows. |

I tried it but when i clicked and dragged for auto fill the a1 auto filled (a1, a2, a3, ect.)
So I have data on sheet 2 in the range of B31:(so far HB)31 and I want to put it on sheet 1 in the range of B2:B(212 so far). Trying to auto fill only works for column to column or row to row and not any mix. One way to get around this is to have my chart take the data directly from sheet 2 but I still want to know how to solve this for future problems. |

Oops!
Sorry about that.
I put the OFFSET arguments the wrong way around.
Try...
| Code: | | =OFFSET(Sheet2.B$31;0;ROW($A1)-1) |
