Hi I want to put a formula in Excel in such a way that the denominator automatically decreases by 1 unit in every next cell. Let me explain Consider the following cells: A1 = 8000/50 A2 = 8000/49 A3 = 8000/48 . . . A50= 8000/1 You can see that in every next cell the denominator is decreasing by 1 unit. What formula should I put in 1st cell so that when I drag the formula automatically updates for every next cell i.e it decreases denominator by 1 unit? Thanks

one way is to use ROW(), which returns the current row of the cell. Note the drawback of this is if you insert a row above, it will screw up your formulas.
So your formula in this case would be
=8000/(51-ROW())
