Default Keeping the correct cells when making a formula?

Add $ signs to make the references absolute.

=(I6*$D$3)*$N$3

I am sure this already answered, but I can not find it, so forgive me in
advance.

I created a Excel Spreadsheet to make some forecasts... anyways I have a
formula that will always be pulling from the same two cells and one that
changes with every cell. So the formula is =(I6*D3)*N3 so the next cell with
read =(J6*D3)*N3, and following that =(K6*D3)*N3. Now this is in about 400
columns, and if I drag the cell across to copy all the variables increase.

So how can I make sure that the last 2 variables do not change, I need the
ability to have them change if I change those respective fields.

Hope that makes sense, oh and this is in Excel 2007 but I had the same issue
with Excel 2003.
