    Changing a range of cells to an absolute reference

    I have a spreadsheet with two worksheets in it and one uses cell values from the other. 'Data Entry' is where the data is entered and 'Summary Final' is where the information ends up. I need to be able to change the reference in the 'Summary Final' sheet to Absolute ($). I know I can change one cell at a time by using F4 (I learned that here) but I need to be able to do a large number of cells at one time. I have 15,000 cells to do and doing it 1 cell at a time is not practical.
    Thank you in advance for help, I hope I have used the correct terms for this problem as I am not well versed in Excel.

    Post the workbook, or an example of the workbook which accurately portrays the formula and cell locations.

    Here is a spreadsheet with entries. Summary Final has 3 blocks of numbers, the first block does not have the reference to Data Entry as absolute, the other blocks do. I need to be able to change this.

    Might take a look at this link and use the code there.

    There is an error in that code and I am not able to trouble shoot it. This looks like it will do what I want if it will work. Thank you very much.
