    Trying to copy formulas but confused with RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE !

    Hi all.

    If you please look at attached file, I am trying to populate the "Player's Form" sheet. I have done and tested the first row, R2. It's what I want but I'm having problems copying and pasting subsequent rows. All that needs to change on each row is the column - I hope you see what I mean .

    I have done the first few manually, but there must be an easier way! Thanks for any help

    EDIT - I have tried using find $G and replace with $H in formulas but it replaces all

    This going to be tough to do seeing as you have the names repeated.

    I have made a start, using this....
    =OFFSET(Payments!$F$6,MATCH('Player''s Form'!C$1,Payments!$F$6:$F$500,0)-1,MATCH('Player''s Form'!$A2,Payments!$G$3:$AX$3,0))

    If you just want to pull in the value for each "match", then that will do it for you, im not sure what you are trying to sum though?

    edit: if you just want to pull the single value, then maybe this instead...
    =INDEX(Payments!$F$3:$DN$299,MATCH('Player''s Form'!C$1,Payments!$F$3:$F$299,0),MATCH('Player''s Form'!$A2,Payments!$F$3:$DN$3,0))

    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

    This thread is marked SOLVED, is that case or does it need to be marked UNSOLVED?

    Sorry, Ford. I've marked it as solved as I have entered the formulas the long way (took over an hour! lol) - though technically I didn't get what I initially required if indeed it were possible. I didn't want people wasting time if I no longer needed assistance. Thank you anyway

    Re: Trying to copy formulas but confused with RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE !

    Ford - what I was trying to sum is:

    The spreadsheet is a lottery based pub game I run. Each player chooses 6 numbers, if the bonus ball is draw, they check one of their numbers - match all six to win the total pool.

    As the game has now been won (See Tony Rerrie on list) he collects over £2,300. But someone has questioned the fact that he was at some point in the game over 2 weeks in arrears, which is against the rules, and he should have been eliminated (he wasn't over 2 weeks as I now know). So I needed to find out EXACTLY how people stood at any point. I've attached the complete file to explain what I mean. Thanks again
