Default "lock" fields so they don't change number while copying formulas?


I just can't get this straight.

Every time I copy a formula there are lots of reference fields on page
1 that I want to increase numbers, but the "static" information I got
on page 2 I want to lock so they do NOT increase.

I have about 6 of this in many of my formulas and I'm not exactly happy
to change this in fields from A1 to P40

Any suggestions more than welcome!

Not sure that I've understood correctly but have you tried using the $
sign to make the addresses in your formulae absolute as opposed to
relative?

e.g. A1 becomes $A$1
