    You have copied a question, but not asked a question of your own. My guess is that you do not understand relative and absolute references.

    When coping formula down a column, it will change the cell reference to the related cells next to the formula, rather than the original cells in the first row.

    If you want the formula to relate to a fixed cell, such as K1, which contains the "Repayment rate to date", then you need to highlight K1 in the formula and press the function key, F4. This will change it to the Absolute Reference: K$1$.
