    copy sum formula across a row but increase columns

    Hello. How can I write one formula and drag it across a row so that it will add one row for each sum formula, for each column I move to the left with the formula.

    Example:

    =SUM(D41:D42)/SUM(C41:C42)
    ==SUM(E41:E43)/SUM(D41:D43)
    =SUM(F41:F44)/SUM(E41:E44)

    I want to drag the original formula across a row.

    It looks like you're also changing columns. Is that intentional?

    If you include de $ sign the referenced part to the right in this case the starting row number will remain the same-...
