So I have a sheet that contains the following formula:

Code:
=SumCellContents(F2)


But the data in that cell changes constantly as I need to move the data. However, if I use "Cut and Paste" to move the cell data it changes the formula, which I don't want it to do. It gives me back a #ref error.

How can I make it so the formula stays "locked" when I Cut and Paste data that the formula references?

Also have that problem with this other formula:

Code:
=TEXT($B$2,"")&" "&TEXT($A$13,"d-mmm-yy")

How can I make changes to the data in the referenced cells without them "moving" I tried $ sign but no luck.

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
