Default HOW DO I MULTIPLY MANY CELLS BY A CONSTANT CELL ?

When you enter the formula you can make the reference to H7 abslolute by

Either typing $H$7 or by typing H7 and pressing the F4 key.

Then, when you copy the formula the cell reference doesn't change.

The $ before the column letter says don't adjust the column reference and
the $ row number says don't adjust the row reference.

Look up Absolute References in Help for a more detailed explanation.

CELL (A1*H7), I WANT THE 200 CELLS TO FOLLOW HAVING THE SAME CONSTANT CELL -
B1*H7, C1*H7, D1*H7, E1*H7, ......
