    What I want to do is really simple , I just want to add the value in a single cell to every cell in a colum. Specificily the value in a139 to every cell between b3 and b137.
    I cant find the function to do it in excel , even though Im sure its there and I cant find a link to it even though Im very sure that its there. Any help is greatly appreciated
    cheers

    Select cell C3.
    Use the formula: =$A$139+B3
    Highlight column C from C3 to C137.
    Press Ctrl+D (Fill Down).
    This will add A139 to all the values in column B and put the results in column C.

    You need to use an array formula.

    1. Highlight C3 to C137
    2. Type = A139 + B3:B137
    3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    You get the result you need in C3 to C137. i.e. C20 = B20 + A139.
