Drag formula problem

[Killer]

I’m using this formula below but when I try to drag down the formula row B45
& B46 is moving down as well, when actually it should remain in B45 & B46
only B8 should be B9 C8 should be C9 and so on.

=(B8=$B45)*5+($B46=C8)*(($B46-4)+(B8=$B45)*(9-C8))

Thanks ahead

Buy a book on basic Excel and read it? Concerning absolute and relative
addressing?
I know that reading a book is hard work. But ....................
$B locks the column in, $45 locks the row in: as in $B$45 DUH!!!

Modify $b45 as $b$45, $b46 as $b$46
=(B8=$B4$5)*5+($B46=C8)*(($B$46-4)+(B8=$B45)*(9-C8))
Best wishes
