Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
This is fairly simple looping/reformatting via VBA. Just Do/Loop and move data to new target sheet. Do you need explicit code?

<tbody>[TR]

[TD]Provision[/TD]
[TD]Power, Function or Item Delegated[/TD]
[TD]Delegate[/TD]
[TD]Conditions & Limitations[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
