small example of spreadsheet I'm creating. Need large sections of one column
to use the same formula but for all cells with diff context

Column A B C D
descr. mtl cost/per unit total cost for material
Rows 1
2 158 $.17 formula =(b2*c2)
3 339 $.24 =(b3*c3)
4 355.95 $.50.88 =(b4*c4)
5
6

So my questions is can I fill Column D with one formula, or because the cell
# changes do I have to enter it into each cell that I need the formula in?

In cell D2, you can enter
=b2*c2

You can then copy that cell down as far as needed. It will adjust the
formula as necessary.
