How NOT to extend formula/refrence to a cell

P

PankajSharma4u

Hi
One of the cells( of sheet2) of my excel has formula as =Sheet1!C2
I want the next (say 30 ) cells to have the same formula =Sheet1!C2.
I dont want excel to automatically change the refrence to C3,C4,C5.....

Turning off tools>>options>edit>>extend data range formats and formula
Doesnt help. Can someone help me out.
Thanks in advance...Pankaj

You could use:

=sheet1!$c$2

And drag down.

Or you could just use a formula that points at that first formula:

If you have =Sheet1!c2 in A1
then just use =$a$1

Then you only have one formula that points back to that other sheet--if/when you
want to change it.
