Is it possible to have calc fill formulas based on an incrementing cell letter rather than number?
the source data from another tab in a worksheet is listed horizontally in a row not vertically in a column. So instead of autofill incrementing A1, A2, A3,,,etc. We require it to fill A1, B1, C1 etc.
source sheet 1 looks like this
sheet 2 should show the data in sheet i vertically instead of horizontally

Re: Fill formulas based on an incrementing cell letter
Do the auto-fill in the same direction as the data.
While a formula could be written to properly account for the increasing column designator while going down rows, it's easier to work with what's already coded to the program

Re: Fill formulas based on an incrementing cell letter
Thank you, that does work however I really need to to do it the way described. I wonder if there is a formula for generating it the way I require. ie make the letter part of the formula an expression that increments by 1 and leaving the number part of the cell. You mentioned there was a way of doing this can you point me in the right direction of how you would build the formula?

Try the array function named: TRANSPOSE()
