Attempting to Copy a IF Function

I need to know how to cascade a IF formula down that will only change the
first value of the Logical Test and will leave the true and false statements
unchanged. Example in the formula =IF(B2 = "080012",H2, H3) I need B2 to
update as I cascade (copy) down the spreadsheet but I need H2, H3 to remain
unchanged. I am not able to find anything on the website to handle this. Even
when I copy and paste it updates all three values and not just the one. Can
anyone please help me update the function so that only the Logical Test value
changes.

Try it like this:

=IF(B2="080012",H$2, H$3)

The $ keep the rows from changing.

You can do the same thing for the columns:

=IF(B2="080012",$H2, $H3)

The $ keep the colimns from changing.

You can also do it for both rows and columns:

=IF(B2="080012",$H$2, $H$3)

Or, you can even "mix and match":

=IF(B2 = "080012",$H2, H$3)

I knew it was going to be something simple that I was forgetting. Thanks for
the help.
