Return values from the row above to the current row

Question

I am trying to do simple thing: I just need to set some cells to values that are on the previous rows. I have tried =A(Row()-1) but it does not work.

Answer 1

This formula does not require a column letter reference ("A", "B", etc.). It returns the value of the cell one row above in the same column.

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN()))
