    Using $ to hold column when dragging using a datasource

    Good morning,

    When I create a formula and want to hold the range I just put $ signs around the range to hold it however I'm unable to do this if I'm using a data range, how do you hold the data range column for dragging?

    Marked Solved?

    Excuse me. Is that it? You ask a question, it gets answered, you mark it solved and wave goodbye? No feedback, no comment, no thank you, no KMA?
