in formula a range cell reference eg) $A1:$A20 that is static whenfilling
if i want a cell reference to not increment when filling i put a
dollar sign in front of it i noticed this does not work when you specify a range of cells eg ) $A1:$A20 although it is not an error when i fill in a formula it still increments the cell reference in each row but if i specify a single cell it does not. does anyone know the syntax for this, it's hard to word so i havent been able to find anything on google. thanks for your help! cheers, /sh |

Or if dragging down column A just A$1:A$100
The $ signs are used to lock either row or column or both.
