If you are really asking about google spreadsheets, it would be better to ask in a forum dedicated to that. I have never used that but try double clicking on the handle in the lower right corner of the cell. If your formula is in the column C, that would, in OpenOffice, fill the formula down as far as column B is filled.

While I canNOT about a google spreadsheet, since, this is an OpenOffice / LibreOffice forum, please see my (
Sliderule ) post in the link below.

Explanation: You of course will have to change the range of cells to meet your specific needs.

I hope this helps, please be sure to let me / us know.
