Title: Excel Help
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 08 November 2016, 09:06:54
Silly question time.

If value of A1 is £1

Then need that value to be changeable in multiple cells then how do I achieve it.



I have always added the value =a1 to maybe b2, then =b2 in call b3 etc

TIA :y

Just about to leave for work but was wondering what version of Excel you have.

e.g. 2003-2016 or Office 365

Hope fully someone will come along soon.

If you want to replicate the value of one cell in other multiple cells, you paste "=$A$1" into all the other cells. Then any value you type in cell A1 will be replicated in all the other cells.

The $ signs basically lock the index so that they don't auto-increment when you paste them into the adjacent cells.

Works in Excell 97 :-)

And all others as far as I am aware

Also work in Libre Office which is what I use 'cos it's free  !   :y

Glad to read that piece of advice on cells. I have been using, (and I suppose it does the same thing,)...=sum(A1) and paste that in the cells I want it transferred to. (using A1 as the example cell) :)

I think you need to look at the =MONTH() function
