You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know that it worked.

You can use a $ sign in front of the column letter and/or the row number
in a cell reference. It locks that part of the reference, and prevents
it from changing if you copy the formula to another cell.

Thank you Debra, Ann and Dave for all trying to fix my problem. Debra gets
the 1st prize!!! woo hoo thank you so much I have been asking people for days
to get this fixed. I think the only difference in your formula to everyone
else that has tried to help me outside of the forum and my friends is the the
extra $ in front of the last digit. i.e I have done $ in front of B but never
in front of 1. And it worked! What a relief. Bless you!

Do you want every row to multiply by the value in cell B1? If so, use an
absolute reference, e.g.: =A3*$B$1

If that's not the problem, select one of the cells that's showing an
incorrect result. Click in the formula bar, and see which cells on the
worksheet are outlined with colour. Is there a value in each of those
cells?

I am doing a simple formula of =A3*B1 or =A3*C1 etc and then using the + fill
handle bottom down each of the columns down about 20 rows or so and it
doesn't give me the correct amounts.

I can't seem to get the fill handle "+" sign to give the correct amounts
when
I want to copy a formula down a column. It seems to skip every 2nd row
with
the wrong amount or sometimes it will give a 0.00 sign.
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance
