Formula that does not change the cell range
I'm just trying to COPY/PASTE a formula that will use the same range of cells
but I'm having problem finding out how ( I know it changes "relativately" accordinly to the rows and columns). I want it to stay UNCHANGE! Tx. Excel 2003/ Windows XP. Also Q2 in the same formula ( COUNTIF+COUNTIF+COUNTIF+...) is there any way that I could change the criteria just ONCE and it will change in the whole formula. Ex. =COUNTIF(SHEET1!L1:L300,"SUNDAY")+COUNTIF(SHEET2!L 1:L300,"SUNDAY")+etc... I'like to COPY/PASTE always in L and change just one time SUNDAY for MONDAY(after pasting it ) resulting in MONDAY in all the countif ( about 12 ). Tx |

hi,
Q1. Don't use relative reference ie A1. use absolute reference ie $A$1 Q2. don't put sunday in the formula. put it in a cell like A1. Put the cell reference in the formula then change the cell contents as/when needed. not =COUNTIF(SHEET1!L1:L300,"SUNDAY")+... but =COUNTIF(sheet1!L1:L300,A1)+... regards FSt1 "FC" wrote: I'm just trying to COPY/PASTE a formula that will use the same range of cells but I'm having problem finding out how ( I know it changes "relativately" accordinly to the rows and columns).

Thanks. How can I change to absolute reference?( describe it for me please)
(that will be the question) as Q1. In Q2 I cannot use your sugestion because from L1 to L300 the cells are changing with the 7 days of the weeks in all the sheets in column L,that's why I need to change it each time in order to count how many Sundays, Mondays...

As FSt1 told you, an absolute address has $ signs in it, as in $A$1. For more
information, look up absolute addresses in Help. -- Regards, Fred "FC" wrote in message ... Thanks.

I'm sorry to have interrupted you. I completely misunderstood. I thought you
were looking for a solution to your problem. But you just want to complain. So I'll get out of the way so you can do so in peace. -- Regards, Fred "FC" wrote in message ... Sorry.
