Copying formula across columns

AMichel

Hi,

I'd like to copy a SUMIF formula across columns, where the only change in each would be to have the formula automatically update to match the new column name.

Specifically, it would autmoatically change from the original colum

=SUMIF(Personnel:Personnel, "Alison Michel", [Summer 2018 - Aug]:[Summer 2018 - Aug])

to

=SUMIF(Personnel:Personnel, "Alison Michel", [Summer 2018 - Sept]:[Summer 2018 - Sept])

to correspond with the new column name.

Copy and past and click and drag aren't working -- is there another solution?

Hello,

There currently isn't a way to automate the changing of column names when you copy a formula over to another column.

You'll need to manually change the names of the columns that you're referencing as needed after copying your formula to the next column.
