Multiple calculations continuing down the column

Hello! 

 

I have a formula which is: =IMSUB(C7,F7)*100/F7

I place the formula in cell L7 and hit enter and it performs the calculation nicely.

Then I have to place the formula in cell L8 and hit enter and L9 and hit enter and so on.

How do I avoid manually running the formula in each cell down the column? 

What formula would I type in cell L7 instead of the formula I have shown above?

Many thanks in advance!

    You can double click on the corner of the cell to copy the formula down (if your formula is in G7)

  • Hi

    Can you copy cell L7 and paste into L8 and L9? The formula should automatically recalculate?

    I don't quite understand what you're trying to do sorry.

      Hi Wyn

       

      Yes, I can copy and paste into each cell, all the way down the column, but the trouble is that I have hundreds of rows and that is a lot of copying and pasting. I would like to type the formula into the top cell and have it run itself for each cell down the column. Is that possible?

       

      So, starting with cell C7, I want to substract F7 from C7. Then I want to multiply by 100,  Then I want to divide by F7.

       

      Then I want to do all of that again, but only replacing the number 7 with the number 8, so: 

         C8-F8 * 100 / F8

       

      Then again, on and on down the column. Is there a formula that I can type up top that will do that for me?

       

      I hope that this makes more sense. Thank you for your help.

       

       

      • or just copy the formula, highlight all the cells you want to the formula to go into and then click paste (don't do one at a time)
