Hello,

If your list is in a column, you can use the ROW() function to figure
out on which line you are. For example, if the first entry is in cell
B2:

Formula in cell B2: =sum(D2/(90-row()+row($b$2))

If you now drag this to cell B3, the formula will be converted to
=sum(D3/(90-row()+row($b$2))

ROW() without arguments gives you the row number of the cell, while
placing a cell reference gives you the row of that cell. You will
notice that I used "$b$2": doing this tells Calc that if you drag or
copy the cell containing the formula, the reference cannot be changed.

By the way, I am not sure I understand your usage of SUM() in the
formula you provided. Unless I am missing something, D17/76 and
sum(D17/76) should yield the same answer.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Rémy.
