Take a look at Help's "The difference between relative and absolute
references" topic. In article , "caryn" wrote: i have a countif function COUNTIF(Locking!I16:I40,"f") when i copy this and paste it to the next cell, the formula automatically change to COUNTIF(Locking!J16:J40,"f") How do I stop it from changing column I to J?!?!?! |

Put a $ before each I, making the columns absolute
=COUNTIF(Locking!$I16:$I40,"f") If you enter this formula by pointing at cells, pressing the F4 key will cycle you through absolute rows & columns, absolute rows & relative columns, relative rows & absolute columns, and completely relative. Check Help to find out about absolute & relative addresses "caryn" wrote: i have a countif function COUNTIF(Locking!I16:I40,"f") when i copy this and paste it to the next cell, the formula automatically change to COUNTIF(Locking!J16:J40,"f") How do I stop it from changing column I to J?!?!?! thanks. |
