Greetings,
I've recently joined seeking help regarding a Excel related question.

Namely, I am trying to mass copy a formula, but with non-standard copy method.

Sheet1 has data i need to split. (depending on whether the spec. character "|" is on the left or right side) (Pic1.)
On Sheet2 I've made formula that does this. If "|" is on the left then show in column A, if "|" is on the right then show in column B.

Then when I copy it to other columns B,C,D,E..., it skips every other column from Sheet1. (Pic.2.)

I can manually input cell reference A,B,C,D,E... in formulas on Sheet2, but is there any pragmatic way to workaround/do this? Tnx! 🍻
