Default How to quickly divide a cell by another cell in a different column but same row?


Example:

Row -- A ---- B
1 ----- 1 -- =*A1*/2
2 ----- 2 -- =*A2*/2
3 ----- 3 -- =*A3*/2
4 ----- 4 -- =*A4*/2

How can I change the A1, A2, etc to something more general like AX/2
where X is the row that it is in?

Thanks, and sorry if this is too basic, I don't know what it is called
that I am trying to do.

Excel automatically does this for you. In B1, type =A1/2
Copy it down and in B2, you should have =A2/2

Oh wow, simple. You're right, it does do that. I didn't know just
copying/pasting like that would automatically change the row number.
Thanks for your help!
