Hi Giuseppe
Lock cell references in formulas by making it absolute (add in dollar signs):
Relative cell reference = A1
Absolute cell reference = $A$1
You can do this manually, or use the shortcut F4.
Hope this answers your question!

If you have entered multiple comments into a spreadsheet and wish to delete them all at once, you can achieve this by:
1. Holding down Ctrl, then Shift, then O - this will select all cells containing comments in the worksheet you are looking at.
2. Right-clicking on one of the selected cells, and selecting Delete Comment from the menu that appears.
3. Clicking anywhere else in the spreadsheet to deselect comments - all comments should have disappeared from the spreadsheet.
