In excel pointers should be availible
 

many times you could save repeating formulas if you could change the row you
want to reference by pointing to a value in another cell to deisnate the row
you wish to refernce in a formula.

example if your formula cotained the A(B2) and B2 contained a value of 5 the
formula would be refernce A5. If you then change the value of B2 to say 10
the formula would now refence A10.
