Help with Excel Formulas?

im trying to create a pricing by multiplier spread sheet.

Column A has the origin numbers. Column B is for the results. So for example =SUM(A6*C4) would be the formula for B6, with C4 being the multiplier i want to change. when i copy the B6 formula into B7, the formula changes to =SUM(A7*C5). i want it to change to A7 but i dont want C4 to change. the idea being that changing the number in C4 changes the pricing for all results columns on the whole spread sheet.

so my question is this. is there a way to copy a formula for all colums with out having to manually change each cell to C4?

    I have created something myself similar to what you are describing. I ran into the same problem of Excel being too "Intuitive". It is tedious, but go ahead and copy the formulas to where you want and then go back and adjust the multiplier cell identification to the correct cell. I don't know any other way to get the program to do what you want it to do.
