Cell Addressing
 

Hi



Is there a way to have a formula that is copied across colums refer to the
source colum (which has data in each row) as "absolute" but "relative" to the
rows on the source column?

Example

Col A, Row 2 = 1
Col A, Row 3 = 2
Col A, Row 4 = 3
Col A, Row 5 = 4

Col B, Row 2 = =$A2+1

When I copy the formula "across" the columns column A stays absolute but the
row stays at row 2. I would like it to change to row 3 as the source.

Any help would be much appreciated

One way, albeit using the volatile OFFSET ..

In B2: =OFFSET($A2,COLUMN(A1),)
Copy across as needed

Do hang around awhile for better non volatile options from others to stream

You could fill the formula down in column b, copy it, in cell c2 use paste
special and transpose and then delete column b

Hi

Try
=INDEX($A:$A,COLUMN(C1))
