Hi KC,

To copy down the snapshot value of E1:

Select E1 | Copy | Select E1:E100 | Paste Special | Values | Ok

-- OR --

To copy down a value which wll equal E1 and reflect any change in E1:

Select E1 | Select the entire formula in the formula bar and hit F4 to
convert to an absolute formula | drag down

Regards,
Norman

Select cell E2
Ctrl+Shift+' (apostrophe) to copy the value from above
Then drag the fill handle on cell E2 to copy the value down to row 100

Or select cells E2:E100
Press Ctrl+Shift+' to copy the value from above
Press Ctrl+Enter to enter the value in all selected cells
