Default simple formula



Cell A4 = A1 + B3
Cell B4 = D1 + E3
C4 = G1 + H3
And so on. How can I write the formulat in A4 so that I
can just drag that cell to cells B4, C4, D4 etc. so that
it'll use the correct intervals of the other two rows?

Can anyone help please
thanks

ash,

Remember that everyone posting to this newsgroup works for free. They are
very good at helping people, but you have to give them something to work
with. What didn't work? What message did you get? What result did you get
that was different from what you wanted?

Fred,
You sound like you are under the impression that I was
blaming or was critical of the group.
What gave you that impression? I'm not sure what is the
connection between referring that everyone posting works
for free. I have personnally thanked and expressed my
appreciation many many times to everyone here.

Hi
sorry my fault :-)
I gave you a formula for dragging the formula down but not to the right
:-)
Try the following in A4:
=OFFSET($A$1,0,(COLUMN()-1)*3)+OFFSET($B$3,0,(COLUMN()-1)*3)

Hi
I had no problem with your answer :-)
But Fred mentioned one valid point: If a solution does not work it
helps if you provide some detail what EXACTLY does not work. In this
case not necessary as I just made a simple mistake :-)
Solution: see my other posting
