Hi,

The fraction is 1/X +1. The x is the number that appears in column A. The
problem I have is the number will be different for each row, so I can't just
use 1/(A1+1) because A1 will not always be the correct number. Is there
anyway to set up the formula, so that it pulls in whatever is in the A column
for that row?

Thanks,

If you put:

=(1/a1)+1 or =1/(a1+1) (There's a difference, so use the one you want.)

In B1, you can drag it down using the fill handle and excel will change that row
number just like you want.

Debra Dalgleish has some instructions for that fill handle at:
