Dear All,

I have a formula that i have to copy to 146 columns.

=IF(VLOOKUP($B4,Perm,1)=0,"",VLOOKUP($B4,Perm,1))

is there a way to automate the 1 in the formula to 2 when i copy to column
to 2 .

The purpose of the formula is to look for B4 value in the sheet called
permission list and return the value associated with it which is X if false
and blank if true. Any and all help will be appreciated if the process is
automated somehow and i dont have to manually change the number.

Thanks in advance.

What sort of hardware are you running this on?
I'm afraid spreadsheets are just not meant for these types of tasks.
Do you have the options of using a database? They're much faster and
more reliable in these cases.

What do you mean by "crashes"? Do you get an error message? If so,
what is it?

Presumably Perm is a named range - how many columns is it defined for?
(check with Insert | Name | Define and then select it from the list).

What is the table range you have defined as "Perm"?

How many columns does it contain?

the error is that it can not reference to the right cell or the cell has
moved or been deleted. i am willing to share the file if someone can help
with it.
