Very very easy: lock the cell reference in the formula.
Highlight "B2" in your formula and press F4. It will become:
=IF(B1="","",ItemList!$B$2)

The $ signs indicate that both the row and column references ar
locked.
(you could also lock rows only: B$2 or columns only: $B2 by pressin
F4 several times or by directly adding the $ signs in the formula.
