Greetings,

I've been reading several posts about auto copy, but they all use arrayformulas() and i'm not that advanced, so i'm going to ask my question a little differently.

Goal:  Eliminate unnecessary formulas down the entire row, but rather have them auto copy when data in the first column is added to a new row.

Data:  In my Sheets document i have the following:

COLUMN A - Manually entered date

COLUMN B - Formula (see below) would return the Day of the Week (i.e. Saturday)

A         B

1 DATE DAY

2 6/1/2013 =IF(A2<>0,TEXT(A2,"dddd"),"")

3

I want the formula in B2 to auto copy to B3 if A3 contains any value other than 0

Is this even possible or am I completely over-complicating this?

Thanks

Coach

Here is what you asked and my responses:

a) tell us what you need help with

I need help adding a formula or script that will auto-add formulas to the next row when a new date value is entered so that i can avoid unnecessary formulas all the way down the entire sheet.  * (As a bonus, it would also be great to do the same thing with the validation cells whereby they are copied down as a new date is added.  This would eliminate the grey down-arrows from populating all the way down the column.)

b) in which cell?

Columns B-E

c) of which sheet?

Test Sheet

d) show us your expected result along with needed logic/explanation

The expected result is not to have the formulas copied down the entire column.

The current formula is the noted columns is current and correct.
