I'm trying to have a cell (e.g. A19) reference a certain cell value (e.g.
from A3) and for that cell (A19) to maintain the same value from A3 after
adding another row above A3. I've put in $A$3 in cell A19, but once I add a
row above the third row, the now A20 automatically changes to ($A$4). How do
I keep the absolute value?

Try this one:

=INDIRECT("A3")

How about:
A19: =INDIRECT("A3")

Does that help?
