    $ in formula doesn't work properly, please help?

    Referencing from another sheet. Example: ='Sheet 1'!$L22

    As a spread that across consecutive cells , formula remains exactly the same. L22 across the board, instead of "$L22, $L23, L$24, $L25" etc.

    But it Does work when I forumula: ='Sheet 1'!L$22

    And when spread: "L$22, M$22, N$22, O$22" etc.

    But I want the Row to change, not the Column....

    As far as I know, dragging across will only change the column, unless of course there is a $. To change the row #, you have to drag down.

    You don't have to add Rep if I have helped you out (but it would be nice), but please mark the thread as SOLVED if your issue is resolved.

    The $ in front of the column locks the column, in front of the row locks the row, in front of both it locks the cell. Hope that helps.
