Thumbs up Answer: how to apply absolute cell referencing to multiple cells at once?

Applying Absolute Cell Referencing to Multiple Cells
  1. Select the range of cells that you want to apply absolute cell referencing to.
  2. Press F2 to enter edit mode for the first cell in the range.
  3. Move the cursor to the cell reference that you want to make absolute (e.g. A1).
  4. Press F4 to change the cell reference to absolute.
  5. Press Enter to confirm the change and move to the next cell in the range.
  6. Press F2 again to enter edit mode for the next cell.
  7. Repeat steps 3-5 for each cell in the range.

Alternatively, you can use the "Find and Replace" feature to apply absolute cell referencing to a range of cells:

1. Select the range of cells that you want to apply absolute cell referencing to.
2. Press Ctrl+H to open the "Find and Replace" dialog box.
3. In the "Find what" field, enter the cell reference that you want to make absolute (e.g. A1).
4. In the "Replace with" field, enter the absolute cell reference (e.g. $A$1).
5. Click "Replace All" to apply the changes to the entire range of cells.
