    shifting values

    I have 100+ rows each with 6 cells (A-F) A & B contain variables which may or may not change daily and C-F have values produced as follows: C=A*B, D equals what was previously in C, E=what was in D, F=what was in E, what was previously in F doesn't matter.

    Can a formula be written to shift the values from one cell to the next or does this have to be done manually everytime a variable changes?

    Thanks for your help.

    If I understand your situation, here's what you are trying to do:

    When either A or B (or both) are about to change, copy the value in E to F, D to E, and C to D then calculate a new C based on the new values in A &/or B.

    If this is correct, you could create a macro to copy C:E and paste them in D:F; then enter your new A B values.

    Would this work for you?

    Well, duh...

    Sometimes one forgets to kiss and starts looking for an "elegant" solution - thanks much for the answer and reality check <grin>
