Say your formula is in B1, and you need to copy it down to B18000.
Press CTRL+G (GoTo), type in the box B1:B18000, then go to menu
Edit--Fill--Down, and voila.

This is perfect I just have one other question when I am doing the dragging
is there an easier way then just dragging to the bottom because I have over
18000 rows I am going thru.

Assuming the values are in column A.

1) Click on B1
2) Enter the formula below
3) Grab the fill-handle of B1 (lower right corner), and drag down as far
as required
4) Select columns A:B
5) Choose Data/Autofilter
6) In the B1 dropdown, choose Custom Filter
7) Using the dropdown and combobox, choose "is less than or equal to" 2
8) Click OK
