copy formula
Hi all
E1:20 A1:1 B1:=sum(A1*E1)*0.15 A2:2 B2:=sum(A2*E1)*0.15 A3:3 B3 A4:4 B4 A5:5 B5 ... .. I will like to copy the formula in B1 down to B50 and more in future but how do I ensure that only A1 will change as I copy downwards but the E1 will remain as a fixed reference cell in the formula? I will change the figure in cell E1 as and when needed. .. .. .. |

copy formula
Put a '$' character before the row number and/or column letter that you want
Excel NOT to change as you copy down. E,g, =SUM(A1*$E$1)*0.15 See http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/relative.aspx for details. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "vcff" wrote in message ...

..B1:=sum(A1*E1)*0.15
Hi. Since you are not summing anything, did you mean Product? =PRODUCT(A1,$E$1,0.15) (Select "E1" and hit the F4 button to cycle) -- Dana DeLouis "vcff" wrote in message ...
