    Division problem

    Hi all,
    I would like to know how to set up a formula that divides cell z41 thru z80 by z18. z18 staying constant.
    When I do the basic formula and copying it, it keeps changing z18 to the next cell in the column. Example z42/z19

    Thanks

    You use $ symbols to lock the part of the cell reference you don't want to change when copy/pasting.

    A1 - everything changes
    $A1 - column reference won't change
    A$1 - row reference won't change
    $A$1 - nothing changes
