Hi,
 Sorry not to be clearer.
I would like to implement the formula for only one row. So entering the
first row shown below and implementing the formula with only B entered in
the first column in the second row gives the rest of the second row.

 |A|2|3|4|
 |B|4|6|8|

Your suggestion almost does what I want, except that it applies the formula
to every row. I would like to apply different row formulas to succeeding
rows.
Also I was not clear about the syntax you used, does <<$<< exclude the
first column and >$> indicate up to the last column?
I tried to modify your formula to restrict it to the second row:
@2<<$<<..@2>$> = 2 * @-1
But that did not work.

Thanks.
