Default Copying down numbers in a formula

Use the $ symbol in front of any number or letter you do not want to
increment.

Row(A1) Relative reference
Row($A$1) Absolute Reference
Row($A1) combination
Row(A$1) combination
--
HTH...

I have a formula that has the number 1 in it. When I copy down (pull) I would
like the 1 to increase to 2, 3... with each row I pull it down, but if I copy
and paste I would like it to remain 1 regardless of where I paste it. Is
there a way to do this?

ROW(A1) works for copying (pulling) down but it also adjusts when I copy and
paste and I don't want it to.

Thanks,
