    help with a complicated find and replace

    Hello. i have this formula in a cell =O$13*O$6 in the row below I have =O$14*N$6 and then it follows this pattern going down the column. I want to be able to change the O13 to a different starting point and then copy it down, for example, O20, O21, etc. The problem is that I don't want to change the second part of the reference (which goes backwards and is fixed on row 6). Is there any way to do this other than manually?

    Maybe this thread may give you an idea for using VBA code.

    The problem is that I don't want to change the second part of the reference (which goes backwards and is fixed on row 6).
    For how many columns backwards in row 6 does this go?

    With the understanding that they go all the way back to column A (15 columns) try this formula and fill down.
