[SOLVED] libreoffice calc variable defining

Question

Hi to everybody,
I need to define a variable/constant in Excel / libreoffice calc.
E.g.:
I need the universal gas constant R=8.1345
And I must use it in many formulas such as =A1*B2*8.3145*(C3-D4)
Now, does exist any way to store the constant in a variable and use it in the formulas in this way: =A1*B2*r*(C3-D4)
Saving my time !!!
Thank you

You can force an absolute reference to a cell as opposed to a relative reference by using a $ in front of the row or column.   If you put the value of R in a Cell, say A123, refer to that cell in your equations as $A$123.  When you copy formulae that contain that form and paste them elsewhere, references that use the $form are not updated based on the relative location to where the formula is pasted.  It would take the form:
A1*B2*$A$123*(C3-D4)
I understand what do you mean, but this is not what I need!
