When I use a formula, it will always use the same reference cells as I saved on the formula. So If I use it on another column I need to edit the formula repeatedly to the corresponding columns. How to use the formula and at the same time the reference cells will adjust accordingly, just like in Excel?
Thanks and regards, jb

Do you mean so each time you apply the same formula (click and drag?) to a different column you want it to adjust to the corresponding difference to the right of the previous column? So if I say col(D) = col(A) and then drag the formula with the lower right square to col(E) and (F), the formula will update to =col(B) and =col(C)?
Unfortunately there is no readily available way of doing this but one thing you could do is select multiple columns (they must all be together, no blank columns between them) and right click and Select Multiple Columns (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Q), and then you can set your formula to change with each column with something like "wcol(j-3)". The wcol index can be treated like a variable, so in this case each column would be equal to the previous 3rd column (D = A, etc).
Hope this helps
