    Incremental Changes Formula Help

    Hello Everyone,
    I have been struggling with this for a while.
    I wish to be able to enter a value in a cell and then the adjoining cells will increase or decrease by a given increment. But the cell I enter the value into will be random. Not always the same one.
    What will the formula be?
    Please see attachment for a clearer picture.
    Hope you can help.

    Ok I have reduced the formula size
    You can use this one in A2 and copy across till H2
    =IFERROR(10-(MATCH(10,$A$1:$H$1,0)-COLUMN()),"")

    Re: Incremental Changes Formula Help

    I have placed the amount in column B and the increment in column A and range is C to H so why does this not work?:

    =IFERROR(B-(MATCH(B,$C$A:$H$A,0)-COLUMN()),’’’’)

    Re: Incremental Changes Formula Help

    Havnt looked at the file or anything, but unless B is a range name, you need to include a row number with that, for it to be a cell reference?
    For example...
    =IFERROR(B1-(MATCH(B1,$C$A:$H$A,0)-COLUMN()),’’’’)

    Also, that last part...,’’’’)...those dont look right either, they need to be 2 " ...the quotation marks on the key to the left of the enter key " "
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
