Here's what I want to do: it's easier to explain with an illustration, so here it is:



In pink is what I've entered. The important term is the first argument in the CHOOSE function. When I use autofill, the blue is what appears. I don't want Turn!C22 to appear next, I want Turn!6 in line 22. And in line 31, I want Turn!C7, not Turn!C23.

Obviously, autofill isn't an option. I have to do this a lot throughout the sheet (usability reasons more than anything else) so any ideas? Autofill will do it correctly if it's just a number in the cells, but if it's a cell reference, it doesn't. I've got very limited Visual Basic knowledge, so any help would be appreciated.

(PS, is the image too big, or should I edit and link it instead?)

I sent you a PM to point you to a solution. If that moves in the direction, we can modify for the Mac version.
Ignore the argumentative nature of this poster. He is old and can't engage in meaningful dialog
very long. Therefore, management asks that you at least humor him. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried using applescript to solve the problem instead and it did the job.
