asked on Excel Copy Paste While Holding Cell References Intact
HELLO...
I have an immediate need, for a tip to use...when copy/pasting in one row to the next. I've just got to believe there's a way to do this.
In a given spreadsheet, I have the following formulas in COLUMN-D:
D1--> MIN_QTY (not a formula...only a Column Heading)
D2--> =Sheet2!D2
D3--> =Sheet2!F2
D4--> =Sheet2!H2
D5--> =Sheet2!J2
D6--> =Sheet2!L2
What *MUST* occur...is that in rows 7-thru-11, I need to end up with the following:
D7--> =Sheet2!D3
D8--> =Sheet2!F3
D9--> =Sheet2!H3
D10--> =Sheet2!J3
D11--> =Sheet2!L3
...and so forth...repeating this paste strategy...for the next 5,000 rows! I thought of using some sort of Transposing method, but I'm getting a bit lost with that. This is only an example...and will apply to COLUMNS A, C, and G as well, in the current Sheet.
The problem is, that I *cannot* alter the source data (i.e. "Sheet2"), as this comes directly from a database report extraction. I also thought of using some sort of clever use of the "$" character, to hold the relative positions in check, but that won't work...or, I'm just using it wrong. :-)
Please HELP! I'm stuck, and I must get this project done today for an Executive. I'd truly appreciate any input here...THANKS!...Mark
