    Insert $ for absolute cell ref
    I have forgotten how to edit and insert $ sign into a cell reference by toggling 2 keys. e.g edit cell ref A2 to $A$2.

    Can any remember this 2 key key stroke?

    Thanks

    Re: Insert $ for absolute cell ref
    Press F2 to go to edit mode. Then pressing the F4 key will toggle between $A$1, A$1 and $A1.
    Hope that helps,
    Barbara.
