    formula not changing when copied to new location

    Hi.

    I'm making a template to count my working hours day by day on a monthly basis.

    I put in the time where work starts and ends and how long my breaks were.

    the formula for each day looks like this

    =(((E10*60)+F10)-((B10*60)+C10))/60-(H10/60)

    How do I copy this formula spo that the 10 here (E10) changes to (E11) when I copy it into the next line.

    It's hard work to write the formula 30 times

    Thanks

    Click on the cell and a small black square "handle" will appear in the lower right corner. If you grab that and drag downward, your cell references will adjust as the formula is copied down.
