Protect Equation Notice For Free

If you want to maintain the original cell reference when you copy it, you "lock" it by putting a dollar sign ($) before the cell and column references. For example, when you copy the formula =$A$2+$B$2 from C2 to D2, the formula stays exactly the same. This is an absolute reference.

Lock the spreadsheet by using the "Ctrl+1" command to open the "Format Cells" dialog box, then go to the "Protection" tab and check "Locked." As with unlocking the spreadsheet, activating the "Lock" function only takes effect after protecting the worksheet.

Here are the steps to lock formulas: Select the cells that contain the formulas you want to lock. Right-click on the selected cells and choose "Format Cells" from the menu. In the Format Cells dialog box, select the "Protection" tab. Check the box next to "Hidden" and "Locked" to lock and hide the formulas.

If you do not want cell references to change when you copy a formula, then make those cell references absolute cell references. Place a "$" before the column letter if you want that to always stay the same. Place a "$" before a row number if you want that to always stay the same.
