Excel Sheet Copy/Insert but Keep cells

[amezzera1016]

I am trying to copy rows with one column that has a formula which multiplies by another cell on another column. When I copy and insert the grouping of rows, the formula is not moving to the new section of rows. It is hard to explain... The current formula in Column X is =$A$63*R64 and it works for X64 to X79

BUT when I copy row 62 to 80 and insert them anywhere, the formula keeps the $A$63 formula, instead of automatically changing to the new cell (for example $A$83). I have tried putting the $ in multiple places ($A63, or A$63) and it is not working. Ultimately I want to type in a number on the A63 line and have it update the rate on Column X.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Without more details, it's hard to know exactly what's happening. But it almost certainly involves that relative vs absolute referencing, which is what the $ sign deals with. Here's a reference that might help you diagnose; that link goes to a description of "relative reference," and there's one on that page regarding "absolute." You'll want to read both.

That the $A$63 stays unchanged when that formula is copied is exactly what the absolute reference is supposed to do. If it's A$63 and you copy that from column B to column C, then the new formula will read B$63, because what the "relative A" was really saying. while in column B, was "that cell to the immediate left" and that's why in column C it turns into B$63. The $63 will stay 63 no matter where you go, but the A will turn into the column immediately to the left (again, assuming a starting point of column B)
