Default formula question

Hi
Click on the cell with the correct formula
Go to the formula bar
place your cursor in the $aa2:$aa113 and $ab2:ab113
press F4 key till you see
=LOOKUP(c3,Lists!$aa$2:$aa$113,Lists!$ab$2:$ab$113 )
Excel will add the $ for you, then copy down

I am using the following fomula
=LOOKUP(c3,Lists!$aa2:$aa113,Lists!$ab2:ab113)
the formulas works great, however in trying to copy the formula, it adds a
number to the list values and looks like this.
=LOOKUP(c3,Lists!$aa3:$aa114,Lists!$ab3:ab114)
the list I am wanting to work with starts at aa1 and ends at aa113, so
this
will not work.
I do not want to edit the formula in each cell, as I am wanting to fill
acouple thousand cells.
any suggestions?
