Final answer:

To stop Excel from adding numbers when dragging down, use absolute cell references by adding a $ symbol before the column or row reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

To stop Excel from adding numbers when dragging down, you can use absolute cell references. By adding a $ symbol before the column or row reference, the reference will not change when dragged across cells. For example, if you want to always reference cell A1 when dragging down, you can use $A$1. Alternatively, you can use the F4 key to cycle through different types of cell references.
