I have a range of data in one column like so:
and I'm trying to copy each value after the one in "A1" and move it one column over and up one row, for example (A2 copied to B1, A3 copied to B2, A4 copied to B3 etc.) like so:
Is there a few lines of code that can do this successfully?
In B1:
=IF(ISBLANK(OFFSET($A1,COLUMN()-1,0)),"",OFFSET($A1,COLUMN()-1,0))
fill down and across
Alternate:
=IF(ROW(B1)>COUNTA($A:$A)-COLUMN(A1),"",INDEX($A:$A,COLUMN(B1)+ROW(B1)-1))

I want to fill empty cells with value from upper non-empty cells, ms excel have ctrl+d for doing that. but i want one step further I want to do multi hop ctrl+d.
For Example
A1, A3, A9, A25, A28 have some value and all other cells of column A are empty I want to fill cell A2 with value of A1,cells A4 to A8 with value of A3,cells A10 to A25 with value A9,cells A26 to A27 with value of A25
Other columns also have such empty cells and I want to fill them like I want for column A.
Folowing are images of sample excel:
I can fill the empty cells by grading cell down for each hop.
For given example I can fill cells by dragging down A1, A3, A9, A25, A28 each.
But I want to do that in one go because I have this type of empty cells and filled cells in between empty cell in thousands.
how can I do that?
Assuming the 1st table content is in A1:C15, put :
=IF(A2="",E1,A2) in E2
=IF(B2="",F1,B2) in F1
=IF(C2="",G1,C2) in G1
and drag downwards..
Hope it solves..
You might like this trick
Just use simple formula and Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste Special - Skip Empty Cells)
I need a VBA for the whole column B and A says that
if Value of Cell B2 did not change then A2 value will be the same
if B2 value is changed then A2 value will increase by one
Use this formula.
Put your staring number in A1.
Put this in A2:
=IF(B2<>B1,A1+1,A1)
And copy down.
I am trying to call a simple cell (Eg: =a1) in Excel. However this "a1" is available in another cell, let's say in cell 'e1'.
In another way, what I mean is e1 cell has the value "a1" in it and for that reason alone I want to call a1. Finally will in turn populate the value that is actually in a1.
I need to do this is because the cell no. that needs to be populated is retrieved from a formula in e1. That is how the cell a1 comes into the picture.
Using the function: =Indirect([cell]) will give you the value in the [cell]. For example, if cell Z1 has the function =Indirect(E1), and E1 has the value A1, will give you the value of A1 in Z1. Then if E1 changes to, say, A2, then cell Z1 will contain the value from A2.
I need a function that will do what Excel does automatically when you dreag a formula: change the referneces automatically.
For example:
In A1 I have "= A2 + A3"
If i copy this to say C3 it will have: "= C4 + C5"
I need to WRITE a formula in C3 that will produce this.
Any ideas? VBA solution is also welcome
CLARIFICATION:
In need this to be as general as possible.
Meaning A1 can contain ANY formula of any type, containing references to other cells.
for example: "= A2 + A3" or "= VLOOKUP(A2, $C$1:$E$7, 2, True)"
In need to move have this formula, whatever it is, copied to another cell (say C3), w/o the built in copy/paste, and have the references (that aren't set with $) change relatively.
I thought there might be a function to write in the destination file to do this.
I have tried writing an Eval function, and i managed to copy the formula from A1 and have it evaluated in C3, but the references would not change
This question lacks a bit of clarity, but I think this might be what you're after:
=SUM(OFFSET(C3,1,0,2))
This will sum the two cells directly below the given cell (in this case, cell C3). That is, it offsets C3 by 1 row, 0 columns, and grabs a height of 2 cells and then passes the result to the SUM function.
This VBA code would do what you are looking by setting the formula in the active cell:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[+1]C+R[+2]C"
You can use the Indirect() function using relative reference style.
For example, if you were in A1 and wanted to sum B1 & C1, it would look as follows:
A1: =INDIRECT("RC[1]",0)+INDIRECT("RC[2]",0)
That will change as you move the cell around to always sum the 2 cells to the left of the cell.
For your specific example (A1 = A2 + A3 || C3 = C4 + C5), it would be as follows:
=INDIRECT("R[1]C",0)+INDIRECT("R[2]C",0)
Hope that does the trick!!
In an Excel worksheet, cell C1 contains a date. I would like a macro that checks the date in C1 and if the same date is mentioned in row 3, then copy all matching date data beneath it from D6 downwards, paste to Sheet2, cell B3 and also copy column A downwards from row 6 to Sheet2, cell A3.
Use Excel's macro recorder to record your keystrokes and mouse actions (as Excel actions) then inspect the resulting macro. Using Excel's help, check the topic Create a macro or visit http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/create-a-macro-HP005204711.aspx. This will get you started.
are you checking the date in C1 against any column in row 3? or in D3? or C3? It is not clear.
copy A6 down and D6 down, but switch column D to B on sheet2 and A to C on sheet2?
This could be easy if it were clearer what you are checking.
