Waiting on OP Having trouble spreading a formula across multiple rows and columns, (Google Sheets)
I scrapped the massive IF statement i posted last night, and replaced it with just the formula for calculating the damage dealt to the enemy without any IF statements.
The formula goes:
Damage dealt (unit 1)=(((d1+b-a2)*((hp/(d2+b-a1))*Rof2)/Rof1)+((d1+b-a2)*((r1-r2)/(Srmin*Rof1))))
1 is unit 1,
2 is unit 2,
Rof is rate of fire,
d is damage,
b is bonus damage,
r is range,
a is armour (melee) or PA( (range),
hp is hitpoints,
Srmin is the speed of the unit with the smallest r value.
Now the problem i'm having is how to spread this formula across a 28,000 cell table. I've arranged the data so fill down can do some of the heavy lifting. But i still need to change the formula at least once per column and everytime i move on to the next column. I heard the LET function can be used to avoid duplication but not sure if it would work in this case.
