Hello,

I am having some trouble with the clicking and dragging to autofill a
vlookup formula. I currently have a Vlookup referenced to a second data
sheet and when I click and drag down to copy the formula, I would like
the lookup value to change, but not the table reference values for
example, I would like it to show like this as oppose to changing the
referenced "PA Data" rows:

=VLOOKUP(H994,'PA Data'!B2:G1427,6,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(H995,'PA Data'!B2:G1427,6,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(H996,'PA Data'!B2:G1427,6,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(H997,'PA Data'!B2:G1427,6,FALSE)

Can I change the autofill to do this instead of changing the rows on
the reference sheet as well?

Thanks

Look up relative and absolute cell references in the Help files.

Your formula should look like this:

=VLOOKUP(H994,'PA Data'!$B$2:$G$1427,6,FALSE)

*Before* copying own.
The $ signs prevent cell references from incrementing during a "Copy".
