is is possible to update a cell formula in a column

Copper Contributor

I have a 7000 row spreadsheet that I have to manually update every 10 rows.  It is a simple update in column H that requires a new value from column I every 10 rows.

Example:  Column H

Row10                    = Column D - $I$row9

Row 11                   = Column D - $I$row9

..........

Row 19                   =Column D - $I$row18

You write "every 10 rows", but from row 10 to row 19 is only 9 rows...

thank you so much for your reply

I count 10 rows, but you have been very helpful in making my spreadsheet format looking better. this one question is harder in my opinion may not be possible to automatically update Column H formula with a new $I$row (+10).

@lbeamer 

Yes, 10 ... 19 is 10 rows in total, but if you want the formula to change in row 10, row 19, row 28, row 37 etc., that is every 9 rows, not every 10 rows.

@lbeamer 

It would also mean that the conditional formula I gave you earlier is incorrect...

Again, thank you so much for assisting me on this very difficult Column H update. In my inquiry, the Column I row was 1 row prior to the Column H row. Notice row 10 stated $I$row9.
I did not receive your suggestion on how a Conditional formula may solve this.
Example: Column H

Row10 = Column D - $I$row9

Row 11 = Column D - $I$row9

..........

Row 19 =Column D - $I$row18

@lbeamer 

Row 10 has D10-I9

...

Row 18 has D18-I9

Row 19 has D19-I18

The jump is 9 rows, not 10 rows.

So every 10 rows, Column H uses a new Column I for the next 10 rows. So date 8/30 uses the I value from 8/27 of 431 in column H for 8/30 thru 9/10.  Then on 9/11 the next 10 days use 444 in the Column H formula so 9/13 Column D is 444.1099 and column H uses 444.1099 - 438 for the resultant 6.11.then 9/14 Column H uses Column D 443.22 -438 for resultant 5.22 and so on until 9/27 when Column I becomes 423.  I hope this clarifies my dilemma.

So every 10 rows, Column H uses a new Column I for the next 10 rows. So date 8/30 uses the I value from 8/27 of 431 in column H for 8/30 thru 9/10. Then on 9/11 the next 10 days use 444 in the Column H formula so 9/13 Column D is 444.1099 and column H uses 444.1099 - 438 for the resultant 6.11.then 9/14 Column H uses Column D 443.22 -438 for resultant 5.22 and so on until 9/27 when Column I becomes 423. I hope this clarifies my dilemma.

I'm afraid that doesn't help at all; it is very difficult to read. Please attach a sample workbook.

How do I attach a worksheet?

@lbeamer 

Drag the workbook from File Explorer into the area below the box where you enter your reply. It says "Drag and drop here or browse files to attach".

@lbeamer 

Thanks. I'm still confused.

Why does H2 have =D2-$I$2, while H12 has =D12-$I$11 and H22 has =D22-$I$21 ?

Shouldn't H2 have =D2-$I$1 ?

(And why does H1 have =D1-$I$7218 ?)

@lbeamer 

It's past midnight where I live, I'm off to bed now.

The formula in H12 could be

=D12-INDEX(I:I,10*QUOTIENT(ROW(H12)-2,10)+1)

This can be filled down.

For H1:H11 it'll return different results than your formula.
