Using relative copy, you can easily create number sequences or apply formulas to a series of numbers.[br][b]Note:[/b] If you relative copy formulas to other cells, by default all references are changed according to the target position.
Create a number sequence in column A and relative copy a formula that contains cell references.

If you want to refer to a specific cell while using relative copy, add the [code]$[/code] symbol to the cell name (e.g. [code]$C$1[/code]).
