Excel help (noocentric probably)

When you copy a formula across cells it changes the oringinal cells in a forumla in respect to how far you have moved it to keep the formula constant across cells... right.

so =(C20+L20+U20)/AK31 moved across by one cell becomes =(D20+M20+V20)/AL31

So all the reference cells move by one.

My question is

how can you configure it so some reference cells move, and some stays the same? so for above it would be

=(C20+L20+U20)/AK31 moved across by one cell becomes =(D20+M20+V20)/AK31

so the AK31 bit is constant still

help please.... x

was intentional


Is there something in the "paste special" settings

that will allow you to copy a formula without changing the cell values within the formula?


$

It's all about the dollar. Copy $A1 across and you'll get $A1,$A2... etc.

I think you need $AK$31


You can get this by pressing f4

when you have the value you want to remain constant selected.

Also you can keep either the letter or the number constant as well dependent on where you put the dollars and how many you use.
