MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / June 2007Automatically duplicate variables
I have a large number of variables (header columns) in excel that I need duplicated with additional versions (ex: 4) - is there a way to do so automatically in Excel? Example: Header Columns: Name | Age | Address | Account Number | etc etc Need: Header Columns: Name_1|Name_2|Name_3|Name_4|Age_1|Age_2|Age_3|Age_4| etc etc.... Can this be done automatically? Many thanks for your help In many ways! 1. Excel is pretty smart - If you enter "Name_1" and then drag the cell handle over (fill) then it will realise thet 1 needs incrementing and do it for you. 2. You could use functions: = "Name_" & column()-2 Assumin your are in column C, when dragged accross it will increment 3.
