Level 7: Find the error Exercise 62 of 68 Pro

Commission copied down

An Excel formula exercise from Formuladrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

The commission rate is in F1. The first rep's commission is right, but the formula was copied down without locking the rate. There are two wrong cells. Fix them.

What this exercise teaches

Locking the rate as $F$1 keeps it fixed when the formula is copied. C2 works either way, which is why this mistake often goes unnoticed.

A hint if you get stuck

When a formula is copied down one row, every unlocked reference moves down one row too, including the rate.
