Dragging and Dropping Formulas

[Guest]

I want A1 (for example) to always be multiplied with a list of #'s in column
B with the results in column C. Is that clear? A1 should be multiplied by B1
thu B20 with the sum showing up in C1 thru C20. Currently my settings are
allowing the first part of the formula (A1) to increase to one cell,
A2,A3,A4, and so on as you drag. Please Help????

Mike,

Try,

=A$1*B1

and copy down as far as you need to go.

Use an Absolute Reference for A1. Typed as: $A$1

The $ symbols prevent the rows/columns from incrementing when the formula is
copied. Could also be used as $A1 to prevent only the column from
incrementing. Or A$1 to prevent only the row from incrementing.
