When I do, the cells changes...for eg, $B11=D12 instead of $B11=D11. Is there a way I can use either absolute or relative reference for this kind of comparison?

I believe you know how to do it, Haven't found the answer yet. The new excel 2007 doesnt have a shorcut key for that matter! and it is so useful - I even tried surfing the macros to make a button out it - but nada! any idea? This is such a powerful shorcut which is totally lost, Thank you in advance, Shabi Hi,
