Dragging formulas across

Dragging SUM formula’s across… I am in ‘Sheet 2’ an trying to drag formulas across…   I want the AutoSum function to do this: =SUM(Sheet1!B2:C2)       =SUM(Sheet1!D2:E2)       =SUM(Sheet1!F2:G2) ...

    TrishMcC Well, that's how dragging a formula works. Drag it one cell to the right and all column references will shift 1 column to the right as well.

     

    You could include OFFSET in the SUM formula, like this (in Sheet2):

    based on the content of Sheet1:

     

    Now, if this it at the start of building a schedule and you don't have a huge number of columns, consider dragging as you did and then just delete every second column. Not very elegant but then you can avoid the OFFSET function.
