Default as i drag a cell, can increment the cell number? . eg.. D1..D4..D7


i wish to copy a cell with a formula, but as i drag it down it only
increments by one

can i make it increment by 2 ? or 3? etc.

You'll have to show us the formula.

Depends what you mean. You'll get better answers if you can post an example
of your formula.
One idea is simply to put in A2
=A1+2
and copy down.

Use this:

=INDIRECT("'PRice List'!B"&142+(ROW(A1)-1)*3)

and then just copy it down.

Hope this helps.

Non-volatile approach:

=INDEX('Price List'!B:B,142+3*ROWS($1:1)-3)

Merry Christmas and happy new year...
This was great help, and has helped further my understanding. I have used it
to great effect, cheers

P.S. not sure by non-volatile (does not dissppear?) approach, but this is
the code i have used.
