I want to set, say, cell A1 with a number, say 10. I then want to
reference
other cells back to the value 10. But when I drag the formula down
successive
cells no longer look at the value in A1, instead going to A2, A3, A4,
etc....
I know this is easy to do, but I forget and can't word it right to find
the
answer using the help section in Excel.
