    linear increase in a function's k parameter when copying across cells in a column

    Hi there,
    couldn't get an answer to this question by searching into solved problems in the forum, maybe I didn't formulate the query properly, but anyway:
    I am using the LARGE formula to pick the k-th value in a grid (A1:Z100) of values, but I am reiterating this for the k+1, ..., k+n-th value by copy/paste of the query =large($A1:$Z100,k) in the next cell of the column and manually entering 2, 3, ..., n in place of k
    Is there a way to avoid the bore of manually entering k and have excel do this automatically, as happens when getting a series of progressive numbers by copy/paste of the cells in a 1,2,3 series?
    Cheers
    Alfredo

    hi,
    have you tried =large($A1:$Z100,row()) ?

    large_k+1.xlsx

    hi,
    here attached the file where I'm proposing 2 solutions, depending on whether you want to specify k value in column G or not.
    hope this helps.
