Fill formulas with row changing not column numbers
I have a formula that needs to be filled down. I want the cell letter to increment and not the number. I guess I want the row to increase while the column stays static.
Original formula: =SUM(C4, C12, C20)
I want to fill down for several rows: =SUM(D4, D12, D20), =SUM(E4,E12,E20), ETC...
If you want an easy to read formula when you are done, try the following manual technique:
1. Put the following formula to the right of any data, then copy across as required:
=SUM(C$4, C$12, C$20)
2. Copy the cells containing that formula
3. Select the cell where the first formula needs to go
4. Paste Special using the Transpose option. You'll need to click the Paste Special... at bottom of the dialog to see the checkbox for Transpose at bottom right of next dialog.

byundt - that way never seems to increment anything for me. I've read that solution before but can't seem to get it to work. I guess I would need to see some screenshots of that in action.
A1 - row and column increment
$A1 - row only increment
A$1 - column only increment - YOUR ONE
$A$1 - fixed/absolute
so you need-
=SUM(C$4,C$12, C$20)
