reggiep Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I am trying to copy excel cells like this =c5 =c15 =c25 Hard to explain but I have about 400 cells to fill and I can fill series as it jumps in just one step at a time. To make things more complicated I'm actually doing this in google docs! Can anyone help please? Thanks
plexer Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Do you mean you can't fill series? What step jump are you looking for as in Office 2010 you can set that I know you said you were doing it in google. A bit more info is required Ben
reggiep Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Sorry, I am finding it hard to explain what I want to do here! What I am trying to do is this... =concatenate(A503," ",B503) | =C505 | =E505 =concatenate(A537," ",B537) | =C539 | =E539 =concatenate(A571," ",B571) | =C573 | =E573 And on and on!
Flakes Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 im confused just use the concatenate? dont think i know what you want, say you have these cells: ...A..B...C..D 1..c..h...2..9 2..e..f...u...h 3..5..j...t....6 what would you want as the result? do you mean you want to lock the co-ords in the concatenation? =concatenate($A$571$," ",$B$571$) | =C573 | =E573
reggiep Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 See I told you I was finding it hard! I already have that in the six cells shown in my rubbish diagram but I now want to copy those down below stepping in steps of 34. When I try to fill series this doesn't carry on the steps of adding 34!
6Foot2 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 If you select the cells where you have already entered the formula. You will see a small black box at the bottom right of the selection range [see attached picture] Click and drag this box out until you have populated the cells you want to have the copied formulas with the required values. Job done.

Job done. That won't work for me! I think it is because it is a formula. If I just had a503 a537 a571 I could do as you suggest and it works fine. but the minute it becomes a formula that doesn't happen!
reggiep Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Got it. I take out the equals sign. Then fill series and then do a replace to put the equals sign back in!

If I just had I could do as you suggest and it works fine. but the minute it becomes a formula that doesn't happen! How odd!. I have just used your formula [in one column only] and copied the values down with the following result [see attached] Does this not work for you?
enjay Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I think that if you manually enter the first few rows, then highlight all of them and copy the formula down, Excel will carry on your +34 pattern. Might be wrong though...
