    Copy and Paste of a Formula

    I have a 297 row table, and I want to copy the formulas from one row to all the other rows. But when I do a copy and paste it tries to adjust the formula and it does it incorrectly. Is there any east way to do it.

    I know that was explained horribly. Let me show you:

    In Cell D81 I have:

    {=MIN(IF('2006May-Aug'!B6:B55=B81,'2006May-Aug'!D6:D55))}

    In Cell D82 I want to have

    {=MIN(IF('2006May-Aug'!B6:B55=B82,'2006May-Aug'!D6:D55))}

    but if I copy and paste I get:

    {=MIN(IF('2006May-Aug'!B7:B56=B82,'2006May-Aug'!D7:D56))}

    Like I said, I have to do this to 297 rows, and I like to avoid having to type it in each time, but if I do a copy and paste, it increases the value of each number. Is there any easy way to do this?

    If you use the dollar sign, it will lock cell references so when you try to copy and paste them, they will stay the same. So in A1, if I had:

    =D4*D5
    If I try to copy and paste to the cell below, I would get:

    =D5*D6
    But in A1, if I write the same formula as:

    =$D$4*$D$5
    then the cell references will stay the same no matter where I put them. Hope that helps.
