Default Easy eay to copy / paste a formula in column

Use absolute referencing. Below are the different reference styles.
A1 Relative referencing. Both column and row will change if you copy or drag
the formula.
$A1 The column reference is fixed and will not change
A$1 The row reference is fixed and will not change.
$A$1 Column and row reference are fixed.

I have a formula that subtracts an individuals birthdate from the current
date (V1).

=YEAR(V1)-YEAR(U53)

Is there any easy way to copy and paste this in each cell of a column
without the current date (V1) incrementing?

If I drag the corner of the cell it increments, if I copy and paste it
increments?

i.e., =YEAR(V1)-YEAR(U53) ; =YEAR(V2)-YEAR(U54) ; =YEAR(V3)-YEAR(U55)
and so on and so on.

Thanks,
Mike
