RE: absolute reference formulas

Hi Barbara,
To answer your question to lock a formula you have to make it absolute by putting dollar signs around the reference. For example A1 becomes $A$1. A shortcut to this is clicking into the reference and pressing the function key F4.
Hope that helps
Tracy

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
