Google-sheets – How to increase google sheets cell number by adding 20 in a formular

google sheets

I would like to use "+" or "- " in referencing a cell eg

=i(10+23) = i33 .

So that I don't have to increment the cell reference manually .

Any help would be great ?

You can use the INDEX function, combined with ROW() and COLUMN(). Here are two simple examples:

  • Left: =INDEX(A:A, 5) returns the contents of the fifth cell in column A.
  • Right: =INDEX(A:A, ROW()+5) returns the contents of the cell five rows down in column A. All cells in italic use the same formula.
