OverlookingSimpleClue

copying cell links with fixed number in between
 
In a column someone wants a reference to another cell. They want this for a
large nr. of cells, with 15 in between

=D15
=D30
=D45
=D60
and so on

I can build a simple VBA module to get this done, but the whole in itself is
variable (for some purposes 15, others 18, in another sheet it'll be a
different column) and the user who needs to do this won't be able to change
anything in the VBA stuff. They will also need this in more worksheets. I've
checked 'paste special' but it doesn't seem to have any functionality for
this.

Any ideas?

One way is to use in say, E15, copied down:
=OFFSET(D$15,ROWS($1:1)*15-15,)
to return the required:
=D15
=D30
=D45
=D60


Or, if say, E14 will house the "fixed number", ie: 15
In E15, copied down: =OFFSET(D$15,ROWS($1:1)*E$14-E$14,)
