Autofill issue

[Jean]

I am trying to autofill a formula. I am in cell A12. Assuming that I want
to multiply A10*J1. When I autofill it across, I would like the A10 to
change to A11, A12, etc. However, I want the J1 to change to J2, J3, etc.
Absolutes will not work. I'm sure that this isn't simple multiplication.
Does anyone have a function that will do this? Thanks.

hi,

Try this in a12 and drag right

=INDIRECT("A"&COLUMN(J10))*INDIRECT("J"&COLUMN(A1))

In A12
=A10*J1

Copy the cell. Select the required cells from A13 to An. Right click>Paste
Special>Formulas..OK

It's close...however, the J is changing to a K...it needs to copy down to J2,
J3, etc...

Oops, Jean please ignore the below post. I misread..

I think I'm all set, Mike...I ust needed to make the J and absolute. Thanks
so much!!!!

So sorry...it's still not working. If I Absolute the J, it does remain in
column J. However, the formula is not dropping down to the next row in
column J.

The highlighted references does not matter. If you are looking at

A10*J1
A11*J2
A12*J3
the formula should work

=INDIRECT("A"&COLUMN(J1))*INDIRECT("J"&COLUMN(A1))

What I would like the formula to do is:

A10*J1
B10*J2
C10*J3

 

[Jacob Skaria]

Try

=INDEX(10:10,1,COLUMN(A1))*INDIRECT("J"&COLUMN(A1))

YES!!!!!! Thanks so much!

Try

=INDEX(10:10,1,COLUMN(A1))*INDIRECT("J"&COLUMN(A1))
