How to copy formula across the sheet, like in the video

At 3:10 of this video Michael copies the cells and moves it across so that it follows the last sheet's cell locations. I am trying to do this myself on Excel but it just duplicates the three Location total revenue cells all across the sheet. Any help with this?

When you say "it just duplicates the three Location total revenue cells", isn't that what happens in the video? Or do you mean when you do it, it duplicates the total revenue for the same month?

If you replicate references by hovering the lower-right corner until you get the "+" icon, and then dragging, the references dropped into each cell should be incremented appropriately. It not, perhaps you originally copied a value into each cell instead of a reference formula.

Does that help any?
