Excel for Mac 2011 copy, paste
When
=$A$1+$A$2
Thank you.
I made my example as simple as possible to avoid confusion. Can you give me an example of what formula or sequence to use for a range of cells, e.g. A1 through B6?
It depends on what you'd like to calculate on that range and what do you expect from copy/paste of the result. In general $ sign "fix" the reference, you may check here https://support.office.com/en-us/article/switch-between-relative-absolute-and-mixed-references-dfec08cd-ae65-4f56-839e-5f0d8d0baca9
Thank you for the article. I read it. It explains how to copy one cell with relative, absolute and mixed references.
I made an error in my explanation of my problem.
My goal is to copy all the formulas in the copied range of cells and paste them into a new location. I.e, I will have two identical data in two sets of cells on sheet 1
My error was failing to explain that one or more of the cells in the copied range on sheet 1 will have its data taken from sheet 2, with a formula similar to, "='sheet 2'!K75". I wish for that formula to be pasted into the destination cells. of sheet 2 with the other formulas from sheet 1.
