Default i need help

If c1 contains a plain number (no formula) - then no you can't drag/copy
c1 down to c20

If you want c2:c20 to have the same ratio with b2:b20 as c1 does with b1

b1 c1
5 3
10 you want 6 here
20 you want 12 here

In which case you need to put a formula into c2

like c2 = (c$1/b$1) * b2

Now you can drag c2 down to c20

Bonus, you can alter c1 and it will recalculate with different ratios

im trying to set up a list of ratios. if i have a list of numbers in
b1:b20, and i know that b1 corosponds to the nuber in c1, is there a
way to solve for the numbers that should be in c2:c20. i cant just drag
it down, becuase it just copies the same number. i want to basically set
up a list of ratios. i appreciate any help you can offer me.
thanks
