how can you use the drag fill (the little box on the right bottom of a selected cell) to fill down.
example: =if(a2=1,b2)
I want the next cell to display =if(a3=2,b3)
this is probably a very simple procedure.

Please help!!!!!!!

Highlight the cell, place the mouse pointer on the fill handle (little black thing in corner) and pull down as far as needed..........

or give a double click on the fill handle.

And, if it's not intendedly so, supply a third argument to the IF.

Hey,

You'll have to tweak your formula a little to change the constants to some sort of reference. You could probably use:

=IF(A2=Row(A1),B2,0)

(Yes I like to type stuff out )

Man, this problem keeps evolving!

How about something like:

=IF(A2=ROW(A1)-10*(ROUNDUP(ROW(A1)/10,0)-1),B2,0)

Start over...

What is in A2 and B2?

And, where are putting this formula?

What is the goal?
