Hi All,
I have a chart that is based off of a table. In the table i have formulas that reference the row above to determine the starting position for this series. However, I would like the Users to have the ability to insert a row so that they can insert a series anywhere they want. I was going to use a table so that the formulas would automatically populate with the inserted row. However, when a user inserts a row, the formulas that reference the above row in the table stay more absolute then relative.
Here is a what happens:
Original Table
Header (A1) Formulas (B1)
Item1 =IF(ISNUMBER(B1),B1+10/5,1) = value of 1
Item2 =IF(ISNUMBER(B2),B2+10/5,1) = value of 3
Item3 =IF(ISNUMBER(B3),B3+10/5,1) = value of 5
Then when i insert a row i get:
Header (A1) Formulas (B1)
Item1 =IF(ISNUMBER(B1),B1+10/5,1) = value of 1
Item2 =IF(ISNUMBER(B2),B2+10/5,1) = value of 3
New Row =IF(ISNUMBER(B3),B3+10/5,1) = value of 5
Item3 =IF(ISNUMBER(B3),B3+10/5,1) = value of 5
As you can see the Item 3 formula kept its original reference and the New Row references the same row. I had expected that the ITEM 3 would have changed its reference to B4.
Any thoughts?
