Quick answer
Decide which references should move and which should remain fixed. Relative, absolute and mixed references serve different purposes.
Understand the issue
Use one original formula and one copied formula as a comparison. A tax-rate cell might stay fixed while each row's quantity changes. Do not add dollar signs everywhere: that can make every row reuse the same input incorrectly.
Step-by-step checks
- Inspect the original formula's references.
- Fix the intended row, column or both where required.
- Copy into a small test range and compare expected results.

What the results mean
Validate a middle and final row before filling a large table, especially when copying across as well as downward.
| Stage | Action |

Frequently asked questions
Does an absolute reference prevent the referenced value changing?
No. It fixes the reference during copying, not the contents of the source cell.
What should I record before requesting help?
Record the full model, exact error or symptom, recent changes and what you already tried. Explain whether important files have a separate backup.
How do I arrange a repair assessment?
