Excel AutoFill Reference from another sheet

I'm working on an excel document where I'm referencing another sheet. The columns in the sheet that I'm working on contains the same formula only the letter changes.

=Sheet7!C$16/Sheet7!C$21 =Sheet7!D$16/Sheet7!D$21 =Sheet7!E$16/Sheet7!E$21

etc. However Excel won't let me drag this down and I don't want to have to do this by hand 100s of times. Any help is appreciated.

Remove the $ from the formula for the cell reference you want to automatically fill in.

For example, to have C16 expand to C17, C18, etc. remove the $ from that, but not from C$21 if you want that to stay the same.

=Sheet7!C16/Sheet7!C$21

$ is an absolute cell reference, which keeps it the same when you drag it down. Without the $ Excel will increment the row number each row as you drag it down.
