    Automatically copy row header to column header...

    A good afternoon all,

    Defining the title of the thread was the first difficulty, describing the item will be the second...

    I want to make a matrix, where the column headers and the row headers are the same. When I change the name of the row with current value "b", I want the column with value "b" to change as well. We are defining a matrix to combine products for our clients, and we will have to change the names of the products more then 1 time. As I do not want to make an error with changing the name in a row but forget to update the column, I want the values in column A (A1:n30) to be copied/changed automatically in row 2 (B1:n1)

    Any thoughts about that ?

    I tried to give B2 the value of A3 with "=A3" and C2 of A4 (="A4") but this is time consuming. Anybody a solution ?

    Thanks

    Peter

    I attached a file and hope this makes things more clear.

    So when I change "Value1" in field A3 I would like B2 to change automatically.
    Same for A4 and C2, A5 and C3.

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Just create a template sheet with the formulas in.

    In B2 use =A3

    When you have set the sheet up, just create a copy whenever you need to
