...one other thing using the "$" works for the row reference or the column
reference so two "$" are needed, one next to the column value one next to
the row value, to keep both from changing. If you want the column reference
to remain constant but allow the row to change only use "$" in front of the
column letter. If you want the row to remain constant but allow the column
to change only use the "$" in front of the row reference.

constant column when formula is copied $B6. A formula containing this
reference will always us "B" as the column but the row will change if the
formula is copied to a different row.

constant row when formula is copied B$6. A formula containing this
reference will always us "6" as the row but the column will change if the
formula is copied to a different column.
