Default Excel 2002: Any quick way for editing VLOOKUP formulas ?

Dear Sir,

I wish to lookup reference in B255:B550 for the columnar values from Day 1
to day 26 in table 1.

Table 1

A B C -- AA
Day 1 Day 2 Day 26
1 B129 XXX
2 H451 XXX
5 K987 XXX
250 T289 XXX


Lookup
Day 1 Day2 Day 26
255 L224 =Vlookup()
256 T189
550 B129

Usually I enter =VLOOKUP($B255,$A$1:$AA$250,2,False) at cell C255 and copy
across to the last column at day 26.

After that I need to change the column reference for formula for each day
i.e. from 2 up to 27. Next I would copy the first row downwards to cover the
entire block C255:AB550. After this I would get the result.

This is a tedious task.

Is there any method for the row reference to increase automatically as I
copy the formula across ?

Alternatively, is there any other more suitable formulas that I could use to
make the work more easier?

Thanks

Low
