Autofill the Row_Index_num field on a Hlookup

i am currently creating a table auto populated with Hlookups. the table as formulas looks a bit like this      1  A =hlookup(A1,'Sheet2'A1:A2,[2],False) B =hlookup(A1,'Sheet2'A1:A2,[3],False)   ...

Instead of constants (2 & 3) you may use formula like ROW()+1 or any other one which changes the value when you drag cells.

as in replace the hlookup with a row function or replace the constant within the hlookup with a row function? I tried plugging in a row function as the constant in the hlookup and it did not work, and I do not think I will be able to run the table as i need to without the hlookup.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and help!

      Oh I see, i was thinking i had to plug in a starting cell in the () in Row()+1. I had a small problem with the starting result being 2 rows below where my data starts, but was able to simply shift my table down to make it work.

      Thanks again for the help I got it working how i need now!

        You may use ROW()+something, e.g. ROW()+ROW($A$1) if A1 is your header cell, or like
