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())
