Multiplying Axis

[austenvegas]

I am trying to set up an excel document where it multiplies length x width x a cost. Here is and example of the formula:

B3*A4*2.25

This is the first cell in the series.

What I am trying to do is drag the cells down the line so excel will fill in the formula for each cell automatically.

The next formula in the sequence going down would be:

B3*A5*2.25
then
B3*A6*2.25
then
B3*A7*2.25

The key is that B3 is a constant but when I drag the cells excel wants to change B3 to B4, B5, etc.

I have attached a sample of the document.
