I need to copy a bunch of cells that each have a formula and I do not want the formula to change at all. Anyone know how to do this?
TIA
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
When referencing cells use a $ to lock its location, for example cell A3 should be entered as $A$3.

Also, if you just want to copy the values, do the following:
Copy the necessary cells, then paste special - just values.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Al.

I would also add that instead of changing your formulas before the copy/paste, you can go ahead & do the copy/paste and then do a replace for the column assignment. For example, if you have a whole row of formulas that say (just a simple case): =A1/B1, and you're copying it into column F, say, you could just go ahead & do that, and then when the formula adjusts to say =E1/F1, just do a replacement of A for E & B for F.

Is that confusing? Just trying to save you a little time. :)
