you can also use this formula to auto adjust where you are looking for a
number larger than possible. Use "zzzzz" for text

=INDIRECT("bb"&MATCH(9999999,bb:bb))

In column A, I have a number of formulae that refer to other cells on the
worksheet. For example, in A1, the formula is = BB30, A2=BD30, A3=BG30,
etc.
In these formulae, the columns are all different, but the row number is
always the same.

However, I need to update the formulae to reflect a new row, so that
A1=BB31, A2=BD31, A3=BG31. The old column references will stay the same,
and
the row references will all be the same number. Is there a way to do this
quickly and easily for a large number of formulae?

Thanks!
