I wish to copy a cell to a large column

I have a cell in row1 that reference another sheet i.e. =Sheet1.G12

I wish to copy this cell to another 65429 rows in this column and have them all increment i.e. Sheet1.Gxxxxxx
Is there a way to do this without trying to select 65429 rows?

Got this comment

“What do you want to increment - the value to be added or the row number of the reference?. And what is your problem with selecting 65429 cells in a column? Just add A2:A65430 into the name field box leftmost of the formula bar and ENTER and you have selected 65429 cells below A1”

I want row2 to contain =Sheet1,G13
row3 to contain = Sheet1.G14 etc
All the way upto Sheet1.G65442

If I select the cell in row1, then click on copy, I don’t then see how to enter the range to 65429

Sorry - I deleted my comment, after having read you question a third time and all of a sudden it was clear to me. Please see my answer.

Hello,

do the following (assuming A1 is the first cell referencing =Sheet1.G12

  • Click into the name box leftmost of the formula bar --or – CTRL+SHIFT+F5
  • Enter the range where you want your formula (including the one which already has defined it; here A1): A1:A65429
  • Press ENTER and CTRL+D (or use Sheet -> Fill Cells -> Fill Down after ENTER)

Screenshot Select Range via Name Box
