well =row(a7) is asking excel to return the value of the row number of cell A7.... which is 7
so row(aa239) will equal 239
As you drag down A2 becomes A3 then A4 then A5 etc etc
so, row(a2)=2 and row(a3)=3 and row(a4)=4 etc etc
which is putting what you wanted into each succesive line of formula without having to type it in each time : you do it once with row(a2) and it takes care of the logic of incremental relativity
