Sorry, I do not know how to create macros. If they are easy to create or
there is a website that can introduce me to them, please let me know, thanks!

Use one of these macros to change all cells at one whack.

Sub Absolute()
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Selection
If Cell.HasFormula Then
Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula _
(Cell.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlAbsolute)

Next

Sub AbsoluteRow()
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Selection
If Cell.HasFormula Then
Cell.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula _

Hi,
I need to copy a formula, but when I paste it, it needs to stay the same
formula.

Example:
I am copying a cell with this formula in A1 that is: =B1+C1 to cell A2.
However, when I paste it in A2, the formula changes to: = B2+C2 and I want it
to stay as =B1+C1.

I understand that I could use $, but this workbook has already been created
by someone else and I am trying to copy and paste a large block of cells,
where I don't want to go through and edit every cell.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!
