Formula for taking only certain data from cells - excel

I'm compiling a data chart where each horizontal cell is a separate transaction. I want to make it so the "Profits" column will have a formula that picks data from column E and C for the same horizontal data cell they are on.
I've been searching for this with no luck, probably because I'm not describing it correctly maybe.

I'm not sure whether I understood your question right but you can just use =C4+E4 assuming your current row is 4. Then move your mouse over the small little box at the bottom right corner and left click and move mouse down.
The number for the rows will be adjusted accordingly
Final result:

It looks like all you are wanting to do is perform some basic multiplication. This can be achieved using the following formula (only applied to one row for simplicity)
=C2*E2
Hope this helps!

Excel - series increment wont follow the patternt

I have two excel documents one is for data and the other one is linked to data excel.
Linked excel looks like this;
='C:[data.xlsm]Operations'!A100
='C:[data.xlsm]Operations'!A103
='C:[data.xlsm]Operations'!A106
='C:[data.xlsm]Operations'!A109
In theory if I hover the cursor on my cells and use autofill (lower right corner) it should increase by "3" as pattern but it increases by "1".
How can I make it increase by "3"?
Thanks in advence
This is a bit of a shot in the dark, so it will need some adjustment to work from your side. Use the function OFFSET and ROW together with some multiplication to get the result you want. Something like this:
=OFFSET('C:[data.xlsm]Operations'!A100, (ROW()+1)*3)
The ROW() will give you the row number for the current line. Multiply it with 3 to get the next step. The +1 is to correct for your offset and you must pick the correct value there to get it right in your case.

How to fill formula horizontally but increment cell references vertically

I need to populate a table with horizontally referring to values that are vertically from another table
In the horizontal table I'm doing the following
='Tab 3x3'!G10
But when I drag to the side it increments the column, not the cell. It would need him to continue G11, G12 .. and so on.
I've tried to anchor ($) in every way but it's no use. I also tried using TRANSPOSE that even worked but it got a mess, I would need the same reference as the above formula. I also researched and found a staff using Offset, but I could not quite understand.
Any easy way to do this?
Use INDEX:
=INDEX('Tab 3x3'!$G:$G,COLUMN(A:A)+9)
USE
=INDIRECT("'tab 3x3'!"&ADDRESS(COLUMNS($A$7:E7)+5,7),TRUE)
Or in light of the comment from Scott, use
=OFFSET('tab 3x3'!$G$10,COLUMNS('tab 3x3'!$G$10:G10)-1,0)

How can I prevent column A from being almost completely hidden in a Report Services report when it is exported to Excel?

I am making some changes to a legacy report (read: not created by me or anyone still here), and one of the requirements is to "Unhide Column A"
And yes, when I run the report and export it to Excel, column A is almost completely obscured:
When I expand it, it contains no data of its own. Why and how it is being "mostly hidden" this way, I don't know.
But it apparently confuses or irritates the users that the first usable column is "B"
How can I get column A to display without moving the contents on the sheet to the right? IOW, I basically want to display column A but move all the data one row to the left (what's in Column B should be in Column A, what's in column C should be in column B, etc.)
Here is how it looks after expanding column A:
This is what they want it to look like (after a manual tweaking of the sheet):
You are going to have to move the logo in the report all the way to the left. The export to Excel tries to match the layout as closely as it can. Any gaps, or mismatched widths between images and table columns will come out looking pretty rough in Excel if things aren't lined up perfectly. You can have merged cells all over the place if you aren't precise with image placement.
I always try to make sure the image I use is in the upper left corner, with no margin, and the first column in my tablix, or matrix, is the same width as the image. Sometimes it ends up being a few columns that all together match the width of the image. Just as long as they line up, the export should look pretty good.
Making these all align can be a bit of a pain. Use the blue alignment indicators that show in the designer to help yourself out. Some times I have to go into the properties and adjust widths and height manually.
If it isn't the image then something else in the report needs alignment.
All this... or just give it to them in a PDF!! ;)

Conditional formatting: Showing direction arrows for a series

I'm using Excel 2010.
Does anyone have a quicker way of implementing this?:
I have a table, with 2 columns; all I want is a green arrow (upwards) or red arrow (downwards) if the value on the right is bigger/smaller than the value on the left.
Unfortunately I can only get condition formatting to work on each individual cell (so when I have 15+ rows, in theory I would have to create 15 'rules'. Is there a quicker way of creating some sort of series that can be easily replicated?
Thank you!
You can use a helper cell to with something like =IF(A1>B1,1,0) and then apply the conditional formatting for the arrows for the whole table. You might need to adjust when what arrow shows up but when I threw it in a sample sheet it worked by default. You can set it to show the icon only too.

Variables avaible in macros

What are the types of identifying a cell as far i know it is
Sheet#.Cells(var,position) or Range(A1) are there any other types of identifying a cell.
Also I know how to increment Sheet#.Cells(var,position) but how do i increment Range(A1) in macros using while loop and any other mode?
I am trying to pick values based on condition from master sheet and populate output sheet row by row.
When I use Sheet#.Cells(var,position) it messes with the position when I get inconsistent data.
I'm not sure if I get right what you need. However...
In Excel you can use something like this:
Range("E10").Offset(row_move, column_move)
where row_move allows to offset in both top/bottom direction, column_move offset to left/right direction. To move top/left direction you need to use values <0.
There is other option which I personally don't like:
Range("A" & row)
but as you can see it's easy to change row position in that situation and more difficult to change column.
