    Rolling Multiplication Problem

    Hi,

    I hope someone can help me with the following problem.

    ..... A B C D
    100 .. 1 2 N1
    101 3 4 5 N2
    102 6 7 8 N3
    103 9

    I want to do this:

    1 * 2 * 3 = N1; then:
    4 * 5 * 6 + 1 * 5 * 6 = N2; then:
    7 * 8 * 9 + 4 * 8 * 9 + 1 * 8 * 9 = N3; etc.

    Does this require some kind of macro and if so, where might I find an example?

    Thanks in advance.

    Bill

    Re: Rolling Multiplication Problem

    As you can see from my example, I have to keep adding to the formula in order to get the desired result. I'd like to change the formula in row 1 so it keeps looping when I need to drag it down as more rows of data are added. Hope this is clearer.
