Copy and Pasting Formulas are incrementing
Hi i am trying to paste formulas from one column to another, however when I
do a paste - special - formulas it seems in increment the cell references with the formulas e.g the correct formula would be A1 but when I paste formulas it comes up as B1 what is going on here? |

That's correct behaviour. if you want the formulae to stay EXACTLY the same you need to put absolute references in the original. I.e if your formula is A1*B1 and you need that to stay the same then change it to $A$1*$B$1. If you only want A1 to stay then same then put $A$1*B1 and the converse if you want B1 to be unchanged. Hope that's clear as mud! |

Your original formula needs to have an absolute reference to stop it changing
as you paste into another column i.e. $A$1 instead of just A1 "anickless" wrote: Hi i am trying to paste formulas from one column to another, however when I do a paste - special - formulas it seems in increment the cell references with the formulas e.g the correct formula would be A1 but when I paste formulas it comes up as B1 what is going on here? |

Thank you that solved the issue. I just never knew much about the formulas.
