    Populate range depending on a cell

    Hi,

    I was hoping someone could tell me how i create a list depending on a value....

    i.e. If cell A1 = 1, I want cells A2:A10 to be the same as cells C2:C10

    BUT,

    If cell A1 = 2, I want cells A2:A10 to be the same as C2:C10.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Thats the same thing.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: Populate range depending on a cell

    Thanks for your help.

    If i wanted to extend this

    ie. if A1=3 I want cells A2:A10 to be the same as cells E2:E10
    BUT,
    If cell A1 = 4, I want cells A2:A10 to be the same as F2:F10.

    Would a nested IF equation be best?

    Re: Populate range depending on a cell

    No just change the formula in A2 to

    =INDEX(C2:ZZ2,1,A$1)

    Then you can go as far as column ZZ
