Filling Down Automatically ?

[Daniel Rascoe]

Cell B1 has a formula which generates the row # of the last nonblank cell in
Column E. The current value of cell B1 in my spreadsheet is 10,012.

Cell G13 has a formula in it.

Cell H264 has a formula in it.

Cell AC767 has a formula in it.

What I want is for Excel to automatically fill down the formulas from G13,
H264 and AC767 to the row number in cell B1 automatically.

The result would be that G13 would be filled down to G10012, H264 would be
filled down to H10012 and AC767 would be filled down to AC10012.

I want Excel to do this automatically instead of me choosing the cells and
manually filling down.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

You could write a macro to do it. By automatically, do you mean when the
value in B1 changes, then the cells would be filled down? How about if B1
decreases - would formulas be cleared.

How does the data in the last row get added (so that B1 would change)?
Manually?

Tom,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't written macros in Excel before but I think
a macro is what is needed here. I think the macro should first clear all
cells below G13, H264 and AC767 within each column. Then the macro should
fill down from those cells to the row number which is in B1. Ideally, I'd
like for as the value in B1 changes that the number of cells filled down to
change. But I don't think I can do that. So I think the steps will have to
be: 1) import the data which will determine a value for B1. 2) run the macro
to clear any filled cells below G13, H264 and AC767 and then re-fill from
G13, H264 and AC767 down to the row value in B1. The value in B1 can
decrease as well as increase. The data imported into the spreadsheet is
daily stock prices. Prices for a different stock can loaded and different
time frames examined. Right now the data is manually added but later may
come from a data feed.

Sincerely,

Daniel

Tom,

You are good. It works very well. When filling down the G14 should be G13.
Otherwise, perfect! Thanks a lot!
