Using the Name tool, you can define a constant, such as a tax rate, that you frequently use in Excel formulas. Go to Insert | Name | Define and type a nameTaxRate, for example. In the Refers to area, type the constant value and click on OK. For a 7 percent tax rate, you would enter 0.07. Now you can write a formula like =SalePrice*TaxRate and Excel will use the constant value you defined for TaxRate.
Excel Question: How can I keep one element constant while the other varies? I'm working in Microsoft Excel, and I have formulas that look like this: =SUM(Page1!B10-Page2!B10) and the next will look like: =SUM(Page1!B11-Page2!B10). The first cell changes, but I need the second cell to stay the same.
