Hi all!
I wrote a payroll program in excel, but when I try to make a "template" and
copy it I find that it automatically adjusts the cell numbers, which I do not
want it to do. I have tried pasting and pasting "special" and cannot get it
to just paste the formula without adjusting the cell numbers.

You need to lock the cell down by using the "$" sign

so rather than having =c4 make instead of =$c$4 and then copy as needed.

you can put $ in all the cell references, like: =sum($a$1.$a$10)
not sure if there is a quicker way?

Thank you! I knew there had to be an easy way to do this! Works great!
