Hi
Don't really understand the question - but here goes.
If you want a cell to always show the same as another, type = in the first
cell and then click the second with your mouse and press Enter. This will
'link' the two cells, and if you move the second, the first will stay linked
to it.
If you want to link to the cell that is always a row up and a column left
(for example) from the first, use the OFFSET function.
Hope this helps.

Hi
What do you want the result to be if you drag and drop B7 to somewhere else,
for example? Do you want the formula to refer to the existing, moved cell,
or do you still want it to refer to the now-empty B7.
