[Solved] Increase multiplication by column

Post by almost317 »

I'm looking for a function to increse my multiplyer with each column.

Example:
 Edit:  
C1=B1+A1
D1=B1+A1*2
E1=B1+A1*3

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Tip1:
Use the cell from the row 2. Then you can insert the multiplier constants into the row 1
C2=B2+A2*$C$1
D2=B2+A2*$D$1
E2=B2+A2*$E$1

Tip2:
Use the function COLUMN() with an offset value to create the multiplier.

C1=B1+A1*(COLUMN()-2)
D1=B1+A1*(COLUMN()-2)
E1=B1+A1*(COLUMN()-2)

Thank you very much, I don't know why I didn't think of the constants, that worked like a charm.
