worksheet functions >> paste formula to each cell in a column without changing values

Hi,

I have the following formula that I need in every cell of column G on my
worksheet

VLOOKUP(C:C,'Daily Code 10s'!1:65536,3,FALSE)

Obviously when I copy and paste this from one cell to another it changes the
formula to

VLOOKUP(C:C,'Daily Code 10s'!#REF!,3,FALSE)

Now copying and using paste special on each cell individually is going to
take an eternity so is there a way to copy this to every cell in column G
without it changing the formula?

Thanks in advance for any help.

worksheet functions >> paste formula to each cell in a column without changing values hi,
try using absolute references in the formula.

VLOOKUP(C:C,'Daily Code 10s'!$1:$65536,3,FALSE)

see xl help on absolute references vs relative references.
