In cell A1 is 100, in cell A2 is 2. So what I would like to do in cell A3 would be to add 1 to A1 cell 100 = 101, then in cell A4 add 2 to A1 cell 100 = 102. But if cell A2 was 4. I would like to continue to add 1 a further 2 times so cell A5 would = 103 and cell A6 would = 104.
Thank you

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try this:

In cell A3=A1+1
In cell A4=A1+2
In cell A5=IF(A2=4,(A1+3),"")
In cell A6=IF(A2=4,(A1+4),"")
