Newbie: INDEX and cross-sheet reference.

Hi...and thank you for any help you can offer.

It is quite a transition from Excel and Google Sheets to SmartSheet, but I know it's going to be worth it!

I am trying to make a master sheet and then use different columns of data in other sheets.

I know this works for 1 row:

=INDEX({Symbol}, 1)

I cannot figure out how to change the formula to populate the entire column ("Convert to Column Formula") of 366 symbols from the master list.

I tried @row from this page with no success: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2481944-set-formulas-for-all-rows-with-column-formulas

I realize this is probably a super basic question, and I am grateful for the help!

Of course...thank you for any help you can give me!

The column "Symbol" has 370 stock symbols on the master list.

I hand cut and paste all 370 into Column 4 of the "Shortlist" sheet for reference only.

In the "Symbol" column of the "Shortlist" sheet, I had to change the row # manually, so 1 for row 1, 2 for row 2, 3 for row 3...is there a way for Smartsheet to automatically change the row number for 370 rows?

I think using @row does this...but I can't figure out the syntax.

In Google Sheets, I would use an array formula.

Thank you again!

Dragfilling is going to be your best option in this particular case.

Are you able to provide a screenshot that shows exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

Try this...

=INDEX({Symbol}, COUNTIFS([Column2]$1:[Column2]@row, OR(@cell = "", @cell <> ""))

Perfect, thank you!

I am making this work by dragging the jughandle down...is there a way to have it populate the entire column automatically?

Thank you!
