Default importing data from other workbooks

I am importing (linking data) from other workbooks into a master workbook.
For example I have linked the following into a master workbook -
='[Demonstrator Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$C$11+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$N$11+'[Demonstrator Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$C$49+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$N$49+'[Demonstrator Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$C$87+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$N$87+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$C$125+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$N$125+'[Demonstrator
Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$C$163+'[Demonstrator Sales.xls]Sheet1'!$N$163
What I want to do now is copy this into the next cell in the master
worksheet and have each value automatically increased by 1 column and 1 row
so that it will be linked to the adjacent cells in the original workbook. Is
there any way to do this other than changing each link by hand.
I am using Office XP
Any help will be much appreciated and save me hours of time as I have a lot
of information to bring into one master workbook.
Thanks

Default importing data from other workbooks

if you are saying that you want to get info from the next column in the
destination column, simply remove the $ (absolutes) & drage copy to the
right. If you then want to take those formulas DOWN the sheet, simply grab
the line and drag copy down
='[MENU.xls]try this'!D1 ='[MENU.xls]try this'!E1
='[MENU.xls]try this'!D2 ='[MENU.xls]try this'!E2

Many thanks - removing the $ did the job.

Thanks again for the quick answer - saved me hours of work and potential
mistakes
