Question

Identify the type of cell reference used in the following.
= A2 + B2
= $C$1 + $D$1​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)Relative Referencing-By default, a cell reference is a relative reference, which means that the reference is relative to the location of the cell. If, for example, you refer to cell A2 from cell C2, you are actually referring to a cell that is two columns to the left (C minus A)—in the same row (2).

2)Absolute Reference-An absolute reference is designated in a formula by the addition of a dollar sign ($) before the column and row. If it precedes the column or row (but not both), it's known as a mixed reference. You will use the relative (A2) and absolute ($A$2) formats in most formulas. Mixed references are used less frequently
