[mso] Re: Excel 2000 autofill

Well, Ray...I should have known it would be you who would come up with that
more "elegant" solution...nice job.

But...do you know why when I drag Q1 Q2 Q3 with the autofill handle, I get
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 ?

No, I don't have a custom list set up for Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4....so where is Excel
getting the     Q4? And if it does this, why doesn't it continue with Q5,
Q6, Q7, etc?  Is it becuz it sees Q1 as Quarter1 and knows there's only four
quarters?  Or what?

As a refinement of this idea, you don't even need the 1, 2, 3 bit. If
you want to autofill across a row, use this as the formula:

        ="Q" & COLUMN()

If you want to fill down a column use this:

        ="Q" & ROW()

If you're not starting in the leftmost or topmost cell, you might have
to use - say - ROW() -1 or COLUMN() -2
