I am trying to do simple thing: I just need to set some cells to values that are on the previous rows.
I have tried =A(Row()-1) but it does not work.

To solve this problem in Excel, usually I would just type in the literal row number of the cell above, e.g., if I’m typing in Cell
A7, I would use the formula=A6. Then if I copied that formula to other cells, they would also use the row of the previous cell.Another option is to use
Indirect(), which resolves the literal statement inside to be a formula. You could use something like:The above formula will resolve to the value of the cell in column
Aand the row that is one less than that of the cell which contains the formula.
