Fill Down with Fixed Cell

I'm trying to create an autocalculating spreadsheet and would like to use the fill down/right option with a fixed cell (or cells).

Given the following spreadsheet:


* A B C D...
1 W X Y Z
2 I J K L
3 M N O P
...


I have a formula defined in C2 referring to values in A2, B2, & C1 so it's something like: K = f(I) + f(J) + f(Y) where f is some function.

When I do a fill down, the formula becomes O = f(M) + f(N) + f(K).

Instead, I want it to be O = f(M) + f(N) + f(Y).

I also want the same behavior for column D, except the constant cell should be cell Z.

I know that there is an array grouping feature, but I can't seem to get the formulas to trickle down and right properly. Any insight would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Never mind. I found the answer. By putting a $, you can fix a certain row or column or both. In my case, I changed C1 to $C$1.
