How do I lock a cell reference in the formula that I'm dragging to other rows.

Use $ signs eg = $A$1. See help on absolute versus relative references.

Hope this helps

Hi abcdbaker,

Would something like this work? =$A$1

Put a dollar sign ($) in front of the col &/or row reference
e.g.:

$A$1: locks the point to both col & row ref of the cell A1
$A1: locks the point only to the col ref: "A" of the cell A1
A$1: locks the point only to the row ref: "1" of the cell A1
