Default Update "button" references automatically

In an excel sheet I have generated radio buttons which will be used to
collect data for a survey. A cell contains 4 buttons where each button has a
reference to another location of the excel sheet if selected by the user.
When I add a new row in the excelsheet, the references of the buttons do NOT
get updated automatically. Therefore one has to go and mnually change the
reference point.
Is there a way to avoid this manual and long hour tasks since the survey
contains ober 300 lines of 4 radio buttons?

Depends on what you are referencing to determine the method. You can use a
named range or cell, all depends on what you are selecting

I am referencing to another cell within the same sheet.
Basically I made another copy of the table a couple columns away towards to
the right.
Each button has a refernce point in the copy version.
But the reference point have been entered manually.
WHen a new line is added, the items under the new line need to be shifted by
a row manually and it is not automated.
I want to somehow automate it.
