Repeat formula down a column in a Word 2003 table
I have a table in Word 2003, with 100 rows and 10 columns.
Each row contains cells for gross income and for various expenses then the net amount. This formula is from the third row. It is placed in the "i" (9th) column to calculate the net amount of income and expense item: {=d3-e3-f3-g3-h3 \#"$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)"} Then I put it in the fourth row (same column) and each of the 3's are changed to 4's., and so fourth on down the column. Problem is this is an extremely slow and tedious process. I know there is a way to do it automatically. I have done it in the past ..., years ago, but I can't remember how, and I can not find it in any help file or any of the online helps. Please point me in the right direction to repeat the formula (updated for each row) in all the rows of the table. -- Thanks, Ray |

Repeat formula down a column in a Word 2003 table
I don't know of any way to do this automatically in Word. Are you sure you
aren't thinking of Excel? You can embed an Excel sheet in your Word doc. -- Suzanne S.

Repeat formula down a column in a Word 2003 table
Hi Ray,
Relative row addressing in Word is not directly supported. You can get around it with field coding, though. To see how to do this and a wide range of other calculations in Word, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party Note: AFAIK There's no practical way to implement a flexible form of relative column addressing.

Repeat formula down a column in a Word 2003 table
Thanks- I don't know why I had it in my heat so strongly that years ago I
had done something like paste the formula in all the rows then select the column then pressed some key combination or clicked some menu item and it updated each formula for with the correct line number in each formula. Sometime we (humans) get something so strongly in our mind that it becomes a real memory. I have spent 3 days looking for it and have just about convinced myself it is not there. I know it was not Excel because I can look back at the first year I used this form and it was several years before I even owned or had access to Excel. Thanks for all the help!
