Default change row reference when pasting formula

Hi

You cannot change the way that Excel works. You can amend formulae to
pick up data from other cells using Offset or Index.
In cell A2, enter
=INDEX(1:65536,1,ROW())
and copy down
This will pull values from B1, C1 etc. as you go down the column.

Hi,

Thanks for the help,

this formula works for cells B1 and C1 but any subsequent data returns a
zero, any ideas on how to correct this?

Many thanks

Paul

Hi

My apologies, I forgot to make rows 1:65536 absolute

=INDEX($1:$65536,1,ROW())
