How do I set one cell as a constant so I can drag the formula
I want to set, say, cell A1 with a number, say 10. I then want to reference
other cells back to the value 10. But when I drag the formula down successive cells no longer look at the value in A1, instead going to A2, A3, A4, etc.... I know this is easy to do, but I forget and can't word it right to find the answer using the help section in Excel. |

Make the cell reference "Absolute", instead of "Relative"...........
$A$1.......instead of A1 Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "juntipoikka" wrote in message ... I want to set, say, cell A1 with a number, say 10. I then want to reference other cells back to the value 10.
