setting multiple cells equal to other cells
 

I have a set of averages I've calculated. In another location on the
same worksheet, I need to essentially reorganize this info to be
displayed in another way. I was just copying and pasting the values
but realized if there was a change in my calculations for any reason,
I'd have to go back and recopy/paste as the cells wouldn't update. So
what I've been doing is simply setting these cells equal to the
already calculated cells. (i.e. I have an a cell that I calculated an
average, say J100, and need the info to show up in F200, so in cell
F200 I enter "=J100").

However I have a LOT of data, and its rather time consuming to go thru
each cell and type "=J100", "=J101" and so forth. Is there a quick
way to do this rather than doing this one by one? I've not been able
to figure out how to do something like a copy/paste to tell it to just
equal the cell rather than the forumla/values.

Hope I've explained what I'm trying to do :)
Thanks!

Say A100 contains:
=J100
Copy A100 and paste from A101 to A150

the formulas will automatically adjust.

Never mind, found the answer!
For those who might want to know, you can highlight the cells like you
want to do a regular copy/paste, but instead of paste, go to Paste
Special and click "Paste Link" at the bottom. So from my example
above, if I highlighted J100 above, copied, then clicked on F200 and
did "Paste Special - Paste Link", in cell F200 it would have the
formula "=$J$100" and show the same value as J100.
