Generic adjacent cell reference
This should be simple but I am not finding it in the docs... I have a formula which I want should always refer to the adjacent cell. For instance The data is in A1 and I put the formula in A2 as =getURL(a1). So I need this to be completely generic so that I can paste it into hundreds of cells and always have it refer to the cell directly to the left regardless as to which column or row it is in. Thanks Paul Paul, For the cell directly to the left, use this in the cell, replacing the B1 with the actual cell address =OFFSET(B1,0,-1) For the cell above: =OFFSET(A2,-1,0) HTH, Bernie MS E...

Merging cells in Excel 2003
I have Excel sheets created in Excel 2000. They have merged cells. When I load one of these sheets in Excel 2003 the merge cells box, on the format menu, is greyed out so it cannot be used. Merging cells on an Excel 2003 sheet presents no problem. How can I merge, or un-merge, cells from one of the Excel 2000 sheets in Excel 2003? I had no such problem going from Excel 2000 to 2003. Are you sure something else isn't involved? For instance if the workbook is shared you cannot unmerge cells. -- Jim "Bob" <rbandrews@mchsi.com> wrote in message news:5D6C3DC4-42BD-42...

Max characters in a cell work-around
I've had a couple people ask me about the maximum number of characters they can put in a cell because Excel was cutting off their entries. While researching the question, I found you can enter up to 32K characters into the formula, but only the first 1024 will display on the sheet. (Note: You can add some <Alt><Enter>'s to extend this a bit, but the text starts getting cut-off.) I came up with a work-around that I didn't see anywhere that I wanted to post in case someone in the future runs across this problem and wants to go beyond the 1024 limit. To get around the 1...

Text box placement in book layout
I'm trying (with emphasis on the word "trying") to typeset a book for a friend of mine. I've done it once before and it turned out well--but it was ten years ago and I used WordPerfect. The author has a text box that spans a couple of pages and I can't get the text box to behave. It seems to disappear in the "cracks" between the pages instead of flowing to the next page. I've tried everything I know and I still can't figure it out. What in the world can I do to get it to flow to the next page. I know I must be overlooking some simpl...

Alternatives to text boxes

For example: instead of =IF(B9="","",B9) use =IF(B9="",NA(),B9) To hide the resulting #N/A errors on the worksheet, you can use conditional formatting.
