=A3/$B$2 and copy down. Denominator in B2 Pressing F4 while clicked on B2 (in the formula) will cycle through the $ options. I think of the $ as "freeze" or "lock".

[...] I tried adding $ 1. in the first cell: NOK. 2. in the second cell: NOK. How can I apply the formula to all cells downward? You have the denominator in your formula as $E2, which doesn't quite do what you want. That $ holds the column indicator, E, fixed, so that it would not be automatically changed to another column (F2, G2, ...) if you filled or copied the formula to other *columns*. What you need here is just to keep the row indicator, 2, fixed, so you need E$2 instead. (If you needed to keep both fixed, you would need $E$2.) Use =E3/E$2. I'm assuming that you know how to fill this down the column. Incidentally, I don't want to be dismissive, but you cannot really expect to learn the basics of spreadsheets by asking questions of hundreds, perhaps a thousand or two, of fellow user around the world. You may want to find a book, get advice from a friend, take a course (at school/college? at work? in a library? or elsewhere?), search the web, or perhaps join a club. But don't let me put you off asking. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] [newbie/Calc] How to mix relative/absolute cells in formula?
Hello, Another newbie question: I need to show percentages in columns. This involves using a relative cell as numerator, and an absolute cell as denominator. https://postimg.cc/G9tccRmV I tried adding $… 1. in the first cell: NOK. 2. in the second cell: NOK. How can I apply the formula to all cells downward?

Hello, I made sure the column is set to Number. For some reason, SUM() doesn't work. It only displays the formula: https://postimg.cc/k29XkyJs Any idea why?
