Default Copying formulas

Change your formula to this:

=DATEDIF(E2, K$2, "D")

When you copy this down the K$2 will not change. Or you could just
make it:

=DATEDIF(E2,TODAY(),"D")

and not bother with cell K2.

If date in column E is likely to be empty for some employees, change
it to this instead:

=IF(E2="","",DATEDIF(E2,TODAY(),"D"))

Hope this helps.
