    Question Two formulas repeating that won't fill properly

    Hey y'all

    Here is my dilemma, I have two formulas that reference another sheet, my example shows it more clearly...
    ...............Column E
    Row 11......=sheet1!F16+sheet1!I16
    Row 12......=sheet1!G16
    Row 12......=sheet1!F17+sheet1!I17
    Row 12......=sheet1!G17
    etc.

    Is there a macro or a formula I can use on the remaining 4000 rows that will keep this pattern while maintaining the formulas above?

    Thanks in advance!

    are you sure you have your row numbers correct?
    better yet, attach a sample workbook.

    Here is an example, I am making a template so I can just type on sheet 1 and have it automatically populate the form 105. I have kind of started the old fashioned way but I really don't feel like having my fingers fall off haha.

    see the attached example.
    This is one way, I am sure someone will probably come up with a different solution. I know that it can be done with macros, if you're interested.
    The example here shows you how to do it without macros.

    I have created helper columns M and N to create the references. If you drag the formulas in those columns down, the pattern will continue. Then in column E, I am using INDIRECT function.

    If you have to drag these down to a few thousand rows, it will work.


    Hope it helps.

    One thing I forgot to mention.
    When dragging down column E formuls, select last two cells e. g. E73 and E74.
    Then drag down as far as you want. That way the pattern of formula will repeat correctly.
    For columns M and N, you can select M74 and N74 and drag them down.

    I am glad this helped you.
