Question : Make static range

Hi, Using COUNTIF formula, I want to make the range static (unchangable)  and the crateria (the value) dynamic, any idea?

Answer : Make static range

You can use $ signs to "fix" a range, e.g. if you use this formula in D2 copied down

=COUNTIF(A$1:A$1000,C2)

then when you copy to D3 the criteria will change to C3 but the range will remain A$1:A$1000.

If you want to copy the formula across then use $ in front of the column letter instead.....
