Hi



Is there a way to have a formula that is copied across colums refer to
the
source colum (which has data in each row) as "absolute" but "relative"
to the
rows on the source column?

Example

Col A, Row 2 = 1
Col A, Row 3 = 2
Col A, Row 4 = 3
Col A, Row 5 = 4

Col B, Row 2 = =$A2+1

When I copy the formula "across" the columns column A stays absolute
but the
row stays at row 2. I would like it to change to row 3 as the source.

Any help would be much appreciated
