Hi all, I know this has got to be so easy I'm gonna kick myself when I see the answer but how do I copy a group of cells say a1-a10 that have the following formula A1=LEFT(H$293,J$293) A2=LEFT(H$345,J$345) A3=LEFT(H$153,J$153) A4=LEFT(H$444,J$444) Etc, etc.... I want to copy the formula so that I get the same results in c1-c10 Any help is appreciated. Andrew You need to have dollar symbols in front of the column identifiers (H and J) so these do not change when you copy the formulae. Highlight the cells A1:A10, then Edit | Replace (or CTRL-H): Find what: H Replace with: $H Replace All CTRL-H again: Find what: J Replace with: $J Replace All Then you can copy the cells to C1:C10. Hope this helps.

Ever stared so much at something that it makes you completely forget the basics!! and the fact there's a 4 year old terror in the house killing my vital brain cells :-), perhaps I should have asked her first :-) :-) Thanks for that.
