cells referencing
cells referencing
(OP)
Hi,
I want to create a column of cells like following:
=M2
=M7
=M12
.
.
.
=M252
As you can see each of these =M references to a cell which comes after 5 cells of the previous one.
How can I do that without entering all these =M.. one by one?
Many Thanks
Alaa

=OFFSET($M$2, 5*(ROW(M2)-ROW($M$2)), 0, 1, 1)

(2B)+(2B)' ?

Indirect would require you to populate additional cells with addresses (that will be accessed by indirect formula in another cell). Could accomplish the same thing but wouldn't be my personal choice.

RE: cells referencing
your formula worked well.
Many Thanks all

RE: cells referencing
Also I normally generate a column of index (or offset) numbers using a simple formula (=Cell above + 1), rather than using the Row function, just to keep things simple.
Just different ways of doing the same thing.
