    I want to be able to copy/paste a formula

    Lets say I have values in A1, B1, and A25. I have a formula in C1 as follows:
    =(A1*B1)/A25

    How can I write this formula differently so that if I were to select C1 cell, copy, then paste it into C2 it will read as follows:
    =(A2*B2)/A25



    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

    Use $:

    =(A1*B1)/$A$25

    Think of the $ as a place holder in a formula. If is only before the column ($A25), then the column reference will not change when the formula is copied. If is only before the row (A$25), then the row reference will not change when the formula is copied. If it is before both ($A$1) the neither row or column reference will change when copying the formula.

    Relative reference A25
    Mixed reference $A25 or A$25
    Absolute reference $A$25
