Hello,
I am having an issue when trying to get a range of formatting to automatically copy it’s self down as I go on my spreadsheet. My data is 4 rows by 11 columns. I have 5 columns that are merged with static data in them. I just want to be able to make the formatting automatically move down every 4 columns as I enter data. I don’t mind if there is always an empty set of data at the bottom and when I enter data in to it a new empty set would appear.
Thanks.
Welcome to the forum!
What does this have to do with charting and pivots?
Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

I think you meant "every 4 ROWS, not columns"?I just want to be able to make the formatting automatically move down every 4 columns as I enter data
The only way that is going to happen (for 4 rows) is with VBA. Alternatively, you could convert your range to a Structured Table, then all formatting, formulas etc, get copied to the next (1) row, when you start entering data into a new row
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

You may be able to use Conditional Formatting to do this automatically for you.
It depends on what the formatting is which brings us back to post #2.
