Default copying formulas

the starting formula entered in cell K11 is =K10-G11
I want to copy it down column K so it progresses to K11-G12, K12-G13 and so
on.
when I go to cell copy cell K11 to the cells below it returns the message
#VALUE in all the cells in column K

thanks for your reply. I do not want the formula to always refer to
the same cell. I need them to refer to the row above. Everytime I
try to copy the formula to more than one cell i get "#VALUE" in all
the cells


I think it should be better if you could post your real formula you want to
copy...

how do I copy a formula i.e. =K64-M65 into all cells in a row

If you want that the formula referers always to the same cells, you
have to use absolute references, i.e. you have to insert the formula
in this way:

=$K$64-$M$65

the you can drag the cell with the formula...
