How to Copy Formulas in Excel

1. Determine what formula is to be copied and to what location it is to be copied. Carefully consider the cells that are to be referenced in the formula and that they are indeed the cells that contain the information to be acted upon by this formula.
2. Highlight a cell that has the formula in it and click the right mouse button. Select the 'Copy' option.
3. Move to the new destination cell for this formula, right click the mouse button and select 'Paste.'
4. Check the first cell to make sure the correct calculation has been performed. If not, check the formula that appears in the cell that contains the result of the formula that was just copied. Make sure that the formula references the correct cells. If not, correct the formula and then copy the corrected formula to the rest of the cells that should have this formula applied to them.
