I have a formula that I want to spread down 1000 rows.
=Change!$D$2
However, when I try to drag this formula into the other rows, the formula stays the same when I really want it to be:
=Change!$D$3 =Change!$D$4 =Change!$D$5 =Change!$D$6 and so on.
I also tried to manually enter the formula for the first 5 and load it that way, but it doesn't work. How can I fix this? I can not change this formula as it is linked to another worksheet that keeps getting re arranged.
I tried using the formaula =Change!$D2 but when I go to re arrange the second worksheet, the other one changes when it is supposed to stay in the same format. How can I fix this? Thanks. Answer from Richard Rost:
Get rid of the dollar signs. The dollar sign specifically says "don't change this reference." It's called an ABSOLUTE reference. Change your value to:
=Change!D2
And you should get the results you want.
