Fill a formula across cells

Drag to extend a formula; references adjust automatically.

What it does

Drag the fill handle at the bottom-right of a selection (or press Ctrl+D to fill down, Ctrl+R to fill right) to extend a formula. Relative references shift automatically, and TrueCalc recomputes every filled cell.

Try it

Verified behavior

Matches Google Sheets: In Google Sheets, filling "=A1+1" down from A2 yields "=A2+1", "=A3+1", "=A4+1" — relative references shift by row, producing a column of values.

Filling a formula down adjusts relative references

Given

  • A1 = 10
  • A2 = =A1+1

When I fill from A2 to A5

Then

  • A3 shows 12
  • A4 shows 13
  • A5 shows 14
  • A3 has formula =A2+1
  • A4 has formula =A3+1
  • A5 has formula =A4+1
