Hi Russell,

Check the Help file on 'absolute references' for a complete explanation.

Changing your formula to this will do what you require.

I looked through Help and I looked in this forum - I am still not able to
get
the fill formatting to do what I want.
C D
2 40
3 350 140
4 400
5 670
6 40
7 200
8 350

cell 3B has the formula =C3*(D2/100)

When I select 3B and drag down my formula changes the 3 and 2 in the
formula
to reflect the relationship it statred with.
Can I get this to not happen?
