Hi, relatively new to excel and learned a lot here, currently trying to solve a problem I can't seem to figure out.

I have automated data input that goes into a new row each time I have new updates from my website, something like this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]SKUs[/TD]
[TD]Quantity[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A,C,E,D[/TD]
[TD]9,6,3,5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C,D,A[/TD]
[TD]3,2,6[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I need to find the individual quantities for 2 specific SKUs, A and C for example, the function to do this is part of my automated inputs, so I need it to reference to the same new row each time.

My thought was to split the inputs into columns on 2 new sheets, so that both inputs will have the same cell address for corresponding value. However I can't seem to define a range of the current or 'self' row to get the address so as to make the rest of the function work. Any suggestions or help is welcomed. Thanks in advance for your time.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

For a direct (though fairly complex) formula approach, you could also try this. The formula in C2 is copied across and down.
