Default Incrementing cell reference

You can use INDIRECT or OFFSET to do this, both described in Excel
Help.

Hope this helps.

I have created a spreadsheet that has four rows of data which are analysing a

four lines), which refers to a value in another sheet.

I have repeated these four rows down the page to allow a series of data to
be analysed, I would expect the first four lines data to be ='1 Base'!A2 then
the next cell (four rows later) to display ='1 Base'!A3. *

However Excel is instead incrementing it to ='1 Base'!A7. *I have tried
changing the value manually and then filling down, in the hope that it will
pick up the pattern, but this does not work.

Any suggestions? *There will be too many rows to manually correct.
