I have a formular =(D11/100)*B5
when i drag from say D11 too D42 the formular copies down the say
=(D12/100)*B6
=(D13/100)*B7
=(D14/100)*B8
i want the formular to change but NOT to change B5 EG :
=(D12/100)*B5
=(D13/100)*B5
=(D14/100)*B5
Hope there are some clever people out there !!
Thanks in advance Craig

this should work... write out a few the correct way ie
=(D12/100)*B5
=(D13/100)*B5
=(D14/100)*B5
then highlight all 3 and drag down that way (hopefully should work

us ethe "$" sign before anything you dont want to change as the cell position does
ie
=(d12/100)*$B5
drag that and B5 will always be the reference cell in column "B" if you are darging out of B column use "$B$5"
hope that helps?

I hate stuff like that with formula's I work with excel loads but scrape through it mostly, for the sake of typing it in 31 times i'd just do it manually 
percentages are gonna be small what you doing?

Using the $ sign stops any changes when copying, eg $A$1
