Excel - List and Incremented values: Creating a dynamic list/cell ref

Thanks for all the help in advance.

  1. is there a way to increment a cell reference without separating the column and row references?
    First instance you have a
    a cell “A1” and you would like to increment just the cell reference by 2 so then you have a cell reference to “A3”
    You can separate the two references “A” and “3” then increment the “3” but I was wondering if anyone has code that you can just add A3+2 and get A3+5?

set sourceCell to reportofColum & c
set compareCell to reportofColum & (c + 1)

  1. Is there a way to define a range in a list? ex. 1 to 5
    list x contains values from 1 to 5?
    what works:

set list to {1,2,3,4,5}

Something like this:
set list to range {1…5}

thanks exactly what I was looking for.
