How do I keep a formula constant in dragging cells below the rows

Guest

I want to fill a column of cells with the same fomula in each cell but when a
drag the cells the formula keeps changing by adding 1 to each cell reference.
I want the same formula in each cell over namy rolls in a column.

Use absolute reference... =$A$1+$B$1

There are varations to hold the row absolute, or the column.

Do a formula and click on A1 then use F4 to toggle through the options of
absolute reference.

Look up 'cell and range references' in the help
It's called absolute addressing
Basically, put a $ sign in front of the reference you dont want to change

Eg.
$B1 The B won't change
B$1 The 1 won't change
$B$1 Both the B and the 1 won't change
