I have a formula in Column G: =COUNTIF(B19:B38, "M") and I want to copy it to Column J, but I want it to say =COUNTIF(C19:C38, "M"), NOT =COUNTIF(E19:E38, "M"). Is there an easy way to do this? I have a whole spreadsheet to do.

that's what I was afraid of. That's what I've been doing, I just have over 100 places I need to do this. I was hoping there was a better solution

Unless you could line other the column that you need at the first place

for example, when you switch the column, the next column is always be the column you want to search for

If you need to specify very specific columns, then you need to change them one by one
