    The last two tricks were quite creative. Thanks! I can't believe it's 2020 and they haven't integrated this option into the "Paste Special" options yet.

      @wilmarkjohnatty4924 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Its not, here is the easiest way: Copy the formula you want to the clipboard (just the text with the = sign). Select the range you want the same formula copied to. Chose Replace, leave the Find what field blank, and paste the formula with the = sign into the Replace with field and choose Replace All. It will fill the same formula in all the cells.

      @@wilmarkjohnatty4924 That's fine for a single formula. I frequently work with an array of formulas that need to be copied. It's been a couple years since I left my comment, but the find/replace with # trick is still the only way to do this efficiently.

    I want a formula for variable cell reference.
    I am having a row of 100 number A1 to A100.
    I am having a other row of 100 numbers in column B1 to B100
    Now in Column C, I want to average A1 to A100 based on value on column B1 to B100
    Suppose if $A$1:A10 = 50, and at that time B10>0, now for next averaging I want to use formula $A$11:A12, $A$11:A13,$A$11:A14 and so on.
    Again if anytime, say $A$11:A20 = 100 and same time B20>0, I want to change average formula from next cell and it will become $A$21:A22,$A$21:A23, $A$21:A24 and so on
    Pls guide

    Brilliant, indeed... but, in 2020 we cope with this basic problem... Excel should have implemented already a kind of "special paste", which means, "no relative formulas change" or sg. like this and then we won't need to make such a tricky things...

    I have a very specific problem. I want to copy the information of a cell into the formula bar but excel wont let me. I normally use it as a shortcut when using equations. Is this how excel just is or is something wrong with my settings. Ive been using google sheets since november last year and this never was a problem. an you shed any light on this?

I can luck the cell address but how can I tell excel to change sheet name in the copy function? =sheetname1!$d$2, then the next cell should be "sheetname2!$d$2. I do not wan to manulla edit the name of sheet. Is there a way to automatically change the sheet name?

    That F4 function to use fixed cell references is extremely useful. That is something new I learned from you. But what if I have a column of numbers and I want to return the result of dividing each number by the same number which referenced in absolute cell? If my absolute cell containing the divisor is T1 and my numbers are in Column R and the result in Column S. How do I get the result in S2,S3,S4, etc to be R2/T1, R3/T1, R4/T1 etc and not R2/T2, R3/T3, R4/T4, etc?

    Thx Trump Excel! I have a problem and I do not know if there is a solution for it. In each cell of a certain row range, I placed the same formula. This formula is not fixed. Would it be possible to change the formula in the first cell of the row, so that all other cells in this row range are immediately adopting that changed formula? I would tend to think you have to link a cell to another cells formula, not its value. Is this possible?
