What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

I'm sorry! But my problem seems is not exactly the same.

I have a xls file containing macros, and when I try to save the file in Office 2010 .xlsm format with the password on it, I get this error:
"This workbook contains Excel 4.0 or Excel 5.0 modiles. If you would like to password protect or restrict permission to this document, you need to remove these macros."

Is there any way to save the file with password to open and with the macros in him?
