To retain the same value:
Hold down the CTRL key as you drag the fill handle.

Does that help?

I would like a date in a certain cell to stay static as I drag it down
a column, right now as I drag it the dates move up sequentially and I
don't know how to keep the date the same aside from the tedious task
of cutting and pasting in each cell. Thanks

That did it thanks Ron!
