Hazarding a guess that
the dollar sign ($) is what you're after here

Maybe you mean something like this:

You've got numbers in A1:A9, with the total in A10
[ in A10: =SUM(A1:A9) ]

Then in B1: =A1/A$10

B1 is formatted as percentage,
and copied down to B10
to return the corresponding percentages

The $ sign in A$10 will fix it to the row10 where the total cell is in col
A. Hence this part won't change when B1 is copied down.

Want the symbol to make the formula repeat in each new cell, but keep the
second cell the same. Thought it was a karat, but that doesn't work.
