Jim,
This method works! Thank you very much. I'll just need to leave enough room
so that when new rows are entered I can use this method without over running
into other data.

Thank you again for your out-of-the-box thinking!

Cell references always increment by 1 so you have to approach this
differently. This works I think:

-Enter your first formula in A1
-Select A1:A3 and drag the fill handle until you have all the formulas you
want
-With the range still selected do a {F5}, Special, Blanks, OK
-Press Ctrl-Minus and select Shift Cells Up.
