You want to use absolute references to *not* change when being copied.
=$C$5*D12
The dollar signs denote "Absolute" cell references, which prevent the cell
addresses from changing during a copy procedure.
They can be mixed also:
=C$5*D12
=$C5*D12
Allowing either the column *or* the row to remain static.

for Copying a formula 9/20/2004
I want to copy a formula from one cell to several others, it is a basic
formula =c5*d12 when i copy and paste the formula changes..( =c6*d13
and so on...) I want the second part d12 to change but i want to anchor the
first part somehow so the c5 is constant in every formula c5*d13 c5*d14
etc..
The formula
=$C$5*D12
will do the trick
