I have a simple formula starting in column AD6-AQ6
in AD6 i have =aa06 AE6 =aa07 AF6 =aa08 ect
it stops in cell AQ6 then drops down to AD7 over to AQ7 then down to AD8-AQ8
when i copy cell AD6 and choose the rest of the cells (ae6-aq320) the formula changes from AA to AB
how can i keep it all AA and not change to AB or AC ect
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
It is actually more straightforward than it looks, just break it down and work it piece by piece and it should make sense.

There are really just a few things you need to know first.
1. How the OFFSET function works. See: https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-offset-function
2. Knowing that ROW() will return the row number from whatever cell that formula is located in.
3. Knowing that COLUMN() will return the current column number from whatever cell that formula is located in.

You can break out the formula and place it in various cells to see what it returns, i.e.
=(COLUMN()-30)+(ROW()-6)*14

And can break it down even further, if you like, i.e.
=(COLUMN()-30)
=
(ROW()-6)*14

Once you see all this, it should make more sense.
Post back if you still have any questions about it after trying this.
