You have mentioned
Actually i was looking for a formula which i can paste in the same row...


Which means copy across in A1189
Like...
=A747 in A1189
=A754 in A1190

Which is what this formula will do

Dear Sheeloo,

This formula is working fine when I'm trying to drag the formula to RIGHT in
the same row.

=INDIRECT("A"&(747+(COLUMN()-1)*7))

It is referring to A747 when inserted in A1189, and when it was dragged to
RIGHT in the same row, in B1189 it was referring to A754 and so on...

Actually i want to drag the formula to DOWN in the same column like...

Referring A747 in A1189
A754 in A1190
A761 in A1191

I have tried all possibilities in the above formula but not able to get the
desired result :(

Sorry for troubling you more...

Try this
=INDIRECT("A"&(COLUMN()-1)*7)
in Col B and copy across

Basically build a formula like (COLUMN()-1)*7 which gives you the number to
append to the letter A to get the reference...
This refers to A7 when entered in Col B
If you want to start at, say A1189
then use
=INDIRECT("A"&(1182+(COLUMN()-1)*7))

Row() and Column() give you the row number and column number of the cell
containing the formula.

Dear,

I need to drag a simple reference formula =A7 in such a way that it follows
a pattern. Something like...

=a7
=a14
=a21
=a28
=a35

Can you please help me in doing this?
