    Auto populate next cell depending on previous column

    Hi Guys,

    This is probably a really easy one, but I tried to google it and all I got were “SUM” formulas.

    • I have summary table with 10 columns
    • Cell reference of first column will always change (and is done manually)
    • and the following 9 columns will the respective cells.

    Example:

    A2 = Sheet2!D100 (manually changed)
    B2 = Sheet2!E100 (formula to get the info of same row, next column)
    C2 = Sheet2!F100
    D2 = Sheet2!G100
    etc…

    if A2 = Sheet2!A50
    then B2 = A2 = Sheet2!B50


    While I can just drag it over – is there a formula I can put into the 9 cells?

    Without a sample file, it seems like using a =VLOOKUP function should work. If this doesn't work or if it's too confusing, please upload a sample file.

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance, see attached 'example.xlsx'

    this is a very basic version of what the actual reports look like.
    The 'Table' is always in another worksheet with thousands of rows

    realistically I can drag the formula over, but was hoping there would be a different way.

    thanks again,

    try
    =INDEX(C9:C1000,COUNT(C9:C1000)) drag formula right
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
    Vladimir
