Default Problem with VLOOKUP

Hello,
Using a VLOOKUP function in individual cells (B1, B2, B3, B4, etc) I get
expected results.
But when I copy the cell (from B1 to B3, B3, B4), results are not correct,
even though the formula in each cell is correct (I always get the result that
is identical to B1)
Any Ideas?

Thanks!
Jarek

Default Problem with VLOOKUP

The problem I always have copying VLOOKUPs is that the table addresses adjust
when I don't want them to.

I forget to use $A$1:$D$100 and use A1:D100 by mistake.

Yes. My idea is to post the formula so we can properly advise you.
Otherwise, it's just a wild goose chase.

Regards,
Fred.

my first guess is that you need to make your table array absolute by putting
$ in both col and row references, such as $A$2 : $D$100 in the
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ran ge_lookup), so that EXcel
won't change your references

Thank you all for the suggestions.
The problem turned out to be somewhere else (I noticed it on VLOOKUP, but
could have noticed it on any copied function). Somehow the Calculation Option
(Tools) was switched from Automatic to Manual.
