    When dragging a formula down a worksheet move the cell references down 5 cells each time

    Hi all,

    I'm creating a spreadsheet which will list the daily closing prices for all major foreign exchange currency pairings for the last 5 years. I would like to be able to work out the percentage change for each 13 week period (5 day financial week = 65 days) on a rolling basis. So the first formula is currently =(AUDJPY!B67/AUDJPY!B2)-1. The formula on the next row would be (AUDJPY!B72/AUDJPY!B7)-1. When the formula is dragged down the sheet is there a way to get Excel to increase the cell references in the formula by 5 instead of the usual one?

    I have attached a very basic worksheet.

    Thanks,

    Luke

    I'm sure there's an easier way but it's hot, I'm tired and I'm out of beer so my brain isn't working well!
