stop a formula from re-calculating

I have set up a spreadsheet to work out an amount to be paid, spread over 4
quarters of the year. Is there any way of stopping a cell from re-calculating
without manual input of the figure?

If you want to permanently stop it, just copy the cell and then use
"paste special" > "values" to paste it back over top of itself.
