Wish to contribute but do not know my way around

[Nicklas Widlund Bjurman]

I noticed the increase/decrease behavior in Microsoft Excel 2007. To
replicate the feature:

* Write the function SUM(A1:A30) in A31
* Select both A30 and A31.
* Move the selection down or up.
* As moved A30 will increase/decrease with the number of rows moved.

Best regards
