    Formula to be copied as per destination cells

    Dear All,

    When I'm copying the formula from one cell to another cell, cell reference is being changed as per source cells rather than destination cells which is making me to edit the formula every time

    Ex: Case-1 which is happening right now: 1st Sum formula I've entered manually, so will see from next formula i.e., 2nd formula is Sheet1!E3 = SUM('Sheet2'!G3:G20), 3rd formula is Sheet1!H3=SUM('Sheet2'!J3:J20) etc

    Case2 which should happen: But I want to populate formula as per destination cells i.e., 2nd formula is Sheet1!E3 = SUM('Sheet2'!F3:F20), 3rd formula is Sheet1!H3=SUM('Sheet2'!H3:H20) etc

    I could do manually, but will consume lot of time and even eager to know whether it is possible

    Is this possible? Please let me know and do the needful.

    Prefix the cell references with $ signs if you dont want them to change eg

    If you always want to reference cell A1 then rather than

    you would use

    which basically fixes it to column A row 1

    if however you wanted the row to change as you change the formula cell then just prefix the Column ie

    Same with the rows, if you want the column to change then
