I am having problems dragging down a formula. What I have is =A04, =A53,
=A102, the formal changes by 49 rows each time. When I attempt to drage the
formula through the next 3 lines I get =A05, A=54, and =A103. What I want is
=A152, =A201, =A250.. If I drop the = sign I can get it to work fine, but
that wont help me. Does anyone have a recommendation?
 
Enter your "formulas" as text, e.g., xA4, xA53, etc. Do a drag down and
then do a Find/Replace of "x" by "="

I would use the indirect function
=indirect("A"&4+49*(row()-4))
This assumes that the first time the equation is entered is row 4...
 
Thank you both for your help. I love both the traditional solution and the
back door solution. How do I rate your entries?
