Excel 2003

Sometimes when I copy down lines which have a number at the end the number goes up by one and I don't usually want it to.

RE: Excel 2003

Hi James

Sorry for the delay in answering this question.

In Excel when you enter a Word/number combination (e.g. Week1) and copy this down by dragging, as a default, the system does a Series copy.

This automatically increases the number in the statement by 1.

To be able to copy only the value with no numeric increase:

After the copy a Auto Fill Options box appears next to the last cell of the copy range.

Click the box

You should find Fill Series selected

Select Copy Cells.

The data should lose the number increments and revert to the value in the original cell

Hope this helps

Carlos


 

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
