Equalize All Cells in Excel

To apply a uniform formula across multiple cells in Excel, begin by ensuring your formula starts with an equal sign. This is essential for Excel to recognize the input as a formula.

Creating a Basic Formula

Construct your formula with the necessary functions, references, operators, and constants. Remember, constants can be static numbers, text, or expressions with a fixed return value.

Applying the Formula to Cells

Once your formula is ready, input it into the first cell. Then, use the fill handle to drag the formula to adjacent cells, automatically adjusting references if needed. For non-adjacent cells, copy the formula, select the target cells, and paste to apply it to all selected areas.

Ensuring Uniformity Across Cells

If the formula uses constants or needs to reference a specific cell, make sure to lock the reference by adding dollar signs ($) to the column letter and row number. This will keep the reference constant when copying the formula to other cells.
