Default Copy Constant Formula

=Change!$D2

Column will remain fixed, row will increment as you drag/copy down.

See help on relative and absolute references.

I have a formula that I want to spread down 1000 rows.

=Change!$D$2

However, when I try to drag this formula into the other rows, the formula
stays the same when I really want it to be:

=Change!$D$3
=Change!$D$4
=Change!$D$5
=Change!$D$6 and so on.

I also tried to manually enter the formula for the first 5 and load it that
way, but it doesn't work. How can I fix this? I can not change this formula
as it is linked to another worksheet the keeps getting re arranged.

Thanks.
