Default Automatically Entering Values

Is there any way to preset some values?
Suppose I entered some values in From A1 to A4 (A1=12,A2=13,A3=14,A=15)
Now I want that when I enter 12 in C1, it automatically feels 13 in C2,14 in
C3,15 in C4.
Is that possible?How?

You can have hidden formulas in so in cell C2 you can put

=IF(Len($C$1)0,$C1+1,"")

This will check if anything is in C1 if so then do the formula... if not the
cell is blank

akphidelt,
I'm interested. Why do you use a LEN function in this formula? I know
what LEN does, I just assume you are avoiding some issue by doing it
this way instead of a simple "$C$10". Why is that?

I'm not akphidelt, but did notice that the original post did not specify
that the entered values must be positive numbers. Using the LEN function
(instead of "$C$10") permits entered values to be positive or negative or
zero. If that's not the intent, change the formula accordingly.
