How do I keep certain cells (those I want to point to a specific 'constant')
from incrementing while the remaing cells in my formulas increment as
expected. Example: ((E65)*(COUNTIF(I7:I7,"V"))) where the cell "E65" contains
a set value that I want to be placed in the result as I step down the
incremental (I) rows when the character "V" is found in the particular (I)
row. When I do my copy and paste, the (E) row increments as the (I) rows
increment.

$E$65

You need to put the dollar sign ($) in front of the row and column reference
you wish to make an absolute reference.i.e. $E$65. This will not be
incremented when you copy and paste.

Thanks to both Adam and Jock, for their timely response, it worked!
