I also recommend you do a Course, For an answer the $ do nothing in the formulas, however in excel you often copy a row down, when you do excel will increment the row number in any formula for you if you want this to happen leave it as D23*C12 and it will change it to D24*C13 however if you have $D$23 * $C12 it will put in $D$23 * $C13 ( note the 12 still went to 13 as it was not $ ) the $ before the letter does the same trick on Column fills.

Joyce,

that should have been a topic in your beginners course.

I also recommend you do a Course, For an answer the $ do nothing in the formulas, however in excel you often copy a row down, when you do excel will increment the row number in any formula for you if you want this to happen leave it as D23*C12 and it will change it to D24*C13 however if you have $D$23 * $C12 it will put in $D$23 * $C13 ( note the 12 still went to 13 as it was not $ ) the $ before the letter does the same trick on Column fills.
