I have a spreadsheet with a column of formulas. These formulas have some variations from row to row but they all end with "$9880".

I want to add a relative reference "+e6" to these formulas. The trick is I want the relative reference to start at E6 but then on the next row it needs to be E7, then E8 and so on. Is there a way to do some kind of replace function that would be similar to 'find and replace' that would accomplish this?

Thanks for your help.

Assuming the formulas are in consecutive cells in a column, put in the E6 in the cell where it belongs and then place the cursor over the dot at the lower right corner of the cell and double-click when it turns to a cross. That should autofill all the cells woth the proper formula. If nothing happens with the double-click, you can single-click and drag to get the same result.
