Default dragging formula down makes a copy

I have a formula
=IF(ISERROR((HLOOKUP($F$3,'Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,13,FALSE))),"",(IF((HLOOKUP($F$ 3,'Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,13,FALSE))=0,"",(HLOOKUP($F$3,' Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,13,FALSE)))))

that I would like to drag down such that the next cell says

=IF(ISERROR((HLOOKUP($F$3,'Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,14,FALSE))),"",(IF((HLOOKUP($F$ 3,'Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,14,FALSE))=0,"",(HLOOKUP($F$3,' Sort by
Analyst'!$1:$65536,14,FALSE)))))

but it is copying formula rather than increment.

Help

Default dragging formula down makes a copy

In Excel parlance, the parameters you give inside a formula are called
"arguments". Since that argument is hardcoded into the formula, it
won't change as you copy it down. However, you can replace the 13 with
a cell reference to a cell that contains the number 13- that way when
you copy the formula down that cell reference will change, and you can
change the value in the cell referenced by the second formula to
contain 14.

Try this:

=IF(ISERROR((HLOOKUP($F$3,'Sort By
Analyst'!$1:$65536,ROWS($1:13),FALSE))),"",(IF((HL OOKUP($F$3,'Sort By
Analyst'!$1:$65536,ROWS($1:13),FALSE))=0,"",(HLOOK UP($F$3,'Sort By
Analyst'!$1:$65536,ROWS($1:13),FALSE)))))
