How do you copy and paste a formula in Excel while keeping one cell reference constant? E.g. I need to copy =SUM(K18*'STOCK PRICE MASTER'!C62) down to give =SUM(K19*'STOCK PRICE MASTER'!C62), =SUM(K20*'STOCK PRICE MASTER'!C62), etc.
Locked cell references are one of the building blocks of Excel modeling. Without them, you will waste endless amounts of time re-writing formulas.Here is a lesson on the three types of locked cell references and how you can use them to copy & paste your formulas.Let’s define what a locked cell reference does:Locking cell references will anchor formulas in specific ways so that we can copy and past them without having to rewrite them.There are three ways to lock a cell reference:Locked columnLocked rowLocked column & rowHere’s a step-by-step example that demonstrates what happens to each type of locked reference when we copy and paste them.In our example, we’re going to reference cell D2 in all of our formulas (and as a bonus, also SUM D2 - D6 to practice locking a range).Here are our formulas (with the formula outputs) in Excel.Column D is sample data.As you can imagine, D2 is equal to 7 for all of our formulas, no surprises there. And the D2 - D6 range adds up to 31.But here’s where it gets interesting.Now we’re going to copy and paste our formulas (from C2 - C6 to D9 - D13) to see what happens to the cell references.Here is what happened.Let’s break down what happened to each formula:Unlocked: =D2 -> =E9Because this has no locked reference, when we copy and pasted the original formula, the D2 cell reference moved down to row 9 and over to column ESo the output changed to 0 (empty cell)Lock the column: =$D2 -> =$D9The column stayed locked as D, but the unlocked row moved down to row 9So the output changed to 0 (empty cell)Lock the row: =D$2 -> =E$2The column shifted right to column E, but the row stayed locked at row 2So the output changed to 0 (empty cell)Lock the cell: =$D$2 -> $D$2The locked cell did not change at allOutput did not changeLock the range: =SUM($D$2:$D$6) -> =SUM($D$2:$D$6)The locked range did not change at allOutput did not changeNow you’re an expert on all the types of locked cell references!-Short answer to your question:=SUM(K19*’STOCK PRICE MASTER’!$C$62)This will get you the output you want.-If you’re interested in learning all of Excel, check out my business-focused course on mastering the 20% of Excel used for 80% of your work.Become an Excel Power User in 2.5 Hours | UdemyHope this helps!

How do you copy and paste from word onto excel into multiple cells, not single cells?
When you paste something in excel, the little tag that pops it in the bottom has an option named use text import wizard. Using that, you can split the pasted data into multiple columns. I'm on mobile, so unable to give screenshots.
EXCEL: copy and paste without duplicates?
You could use the Data > Filter function provided your column has a heading in the first row. If it does not, you could insert a row and enter a heading. Highlight the entire column by clicking on the column letter. Go to Data > Filter and click on 'Advance Filter' When the Advanced Filter window opens, you can select 'Filter the list, in place' and check the Unique Records check box at the bottom. Then click 'OK'. This will hide all the duplicate entries leaving only unique records visible. Alternatively, you could select 'Copy to another location' and click the unique records check box. Then, in the 'Copy to' text box enter the column reference you wish to extract to, i.e. $L:$L The dollar signs are essential. Click 'Ok' and the filtered list will appear in your column. You could either then delete your column with duplicates, hide the column, or do nothing at all.
Excel chart corruption when embedding it into Word?
Hi, yes there are a couple other methods you can use to do this. They are slightly different from one another and also produce the charts differently in the way they look. You can try both ways to see which result you prefer. I believe it also may have been what Comp-Elect meant as well. 1st way: 1. Make sure your Excel worksheet with the graph/chart is open 2. Open Word, select New Blank Document 3. Click on Insert>Object>Create New (Tab) 4. Scroll and select Microsoft Excel Chart (one may appear with info already in it, but it can be changed) 5. Double click on that chart, click on Sheet 1, delete what is in the cells 6. Go to your Excel worksheet>click to highlight the entire sheet, & copy it 7. Go back to the empty Excel spreadsheet in Word>click to highlight the entire sheet, and paste 8. Click the Chart 1 tab on Word and you will notice your info on the chart 9. Right-click on the chart in order to Change the Chart Type, Source Data and Chart Options to get the look you wish 2nd way: 1. For this method, in your Excel worksheet, it works best if you have your info on sheet 1 and create your graph on sheet 2 2. Also on sheet 2 go into Tools>Options> uncheck Gridlines box 3. Before you save your file, make sure your Excel file is on Sheet 1 prior to the following steps. You can also leave the worksheet open. 4. Open Word, select New Blank Document 5. Click on Insert>Object>Create From File (Tab) 6. Use Browse button to locate and select the Excel file you created>Insert>click OK 7. You will see the cells with your info 8. Double-click on the cells, You will now see an Excel spreadsheet format 9. Using the double-headed arrow & small black boxes, enlarge the spreadsheet just enough to see the Sheet 2 tab. 10. Click the Sheet 2 tab, you will see your chart or at least part of it 11. Once again enlarge that by dragging the black boxes, until you can see your entire chart 12. Once you can see the entire chart, click on an empty space anywhere on the Word document I hope this was not too confusing, and hope it helped!

I'm having trouble copying and pasting some Chinese characters from a PDF file onto a spreadsheet. It shows up as a box (on Windows) or nothing at all (on Mac OS X) when I copy it onto any application including Excel, Google Sheets, etc. Any help?
Within Office products, you are dealing with character sets. Whether the rights ones are available and being employed is another story. If on a Windows machine, it may be helpful to check for updates, view optional updates, and install any of the language packs you need/want. Here, I am assuming that the office products actually make use of those language packs. That may not be the case. I'm leaning towards character sets. All word processing tools use them, commonly it is just UTF-8. Another option is to avoid control + v (or command + v) , and just option click to get the sub menu where you can "paste special".
In Excel, might updating relative references when formulas are copied ever produce the wrong result? When?
Yes. You can get an error message if you copy a formula that references cells in one location, that after being copied the new references are off the spreadsheet. Here's an example: in D1 enter 123 in D2 enter 456 in E3 put the formula =SUM(D1:D2) copy and paste that formula to cell A3 you get a #REF! error. Otherwise, NO you won't get a wrong result, that is, the result will be correct for the cell references and data used. As mentioned before, this may yield an unexpected number or a zero.
How do you copy and paste sentences from a Word document into an Excel spreadsheet without going into the next column?
Good question. For writing sentences, Excel sucks. So you need to use a few tricks to make the text look nice. Here’s what I would do…You can do a few things here:Increase the column widthUse the “wrap text” featureDo both -> probably the best optionFirst, paste the text into ExcelStep 1: increase the column widthWith your cursor, click the edge of the header for column B (red circle), keep holding down the cursor, and drag the column to the right.This will increase the width of the column to fit your sentence, but it still looks bad in my opinion.So we need to do a few more things.Step 2: combine wrap text & column widthFirst, I reduced the width of column B, because it was too wide.Then I clicked the “Wrap Text” feature (red rectangle).This forces all the text to “wrap” inside of the cell, meaning it won’t go into the next column.Now, you’ve combined “Wrap text” with a column width adjustment.You should be a pro at making text look good in Excel now!-If you’re interested to learn the core of becoming an Excel power-user (including a whole module covering basic through advanced formatting), take a look at my video-based course on Udemy.Become an Excel Power User in 2.5 Hours | UdemyHope this helps!
