Reference cell to the left of the current cell
Can anyone come up with a way to reference the cell to the immediate left of the current cell without having to specify the column name to the left?

@Rob Oaks , what are you trying to accomplish that requires you not to reference the column name?

I have about a dozen pairs of alternating
%
/Hours
columns as show below. TheHours
column formula always referes to the%
column formula to its left. They are all configured as column formulas.I was hoping to just use the same column formula in all of the
Hours
columns.Silly me, however, as I just realized that I could just create a cell formula in the first
Hours
column, copy it to the otherHours
columns, and _then_ convert them all to column formulas. In that way, the%
column references, which are relative, are automatically updated as I copy.
