How do you stop an address changing?

Copy down
| Cell | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| D2 | =B2+C2 | 137 |
| D3 | =B3+C3 | 150 |
| D4 | =B4+C4 | 121 |
Remember
| Drag the fill handle down |
| Row numbers change by themselves |
| Use $C$1 to lock a cell |
Typing the same total forty times? There is a faster way. Drag the fill handle down. D2 adds B2 and C2. D3 adds B3 and C3. D4 adds B4 and C4. Three things to remember. Drag the fill handle. Row numbers change. Dollar signs lock a cell.
