Default Excel drag down formula not working good..

hi,

i have a formula
=IF(E6="Casual",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L6,Types!D4:E14,2,0),IF(E6="Dress",VLOOKUP ('Product Detail'!L6,Types!A4:B12,2,0)))

when i drag it down to the rest of the cells i want only E6 to become E7 and grow each time i drag the formula down.

the problem is when i drag the formula down it becomes like this:
=IF(E7="Casual",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L7,Types!D5:E15,2,0),IF(E7="Dress",VLOOKUP ('Product Detail'!L7,Types!A5:B13,2,0)))

everything grew by 1 number.

i tried putting $ signs before each letter but its not working for some reason.

can someone find a problem here in my fomula or excel, am i doing something wrong?

thanks for your time.

Put $ signs around any values you don't want to grow... so

D5:E15 becomes

$D$5:$E$15
