Explanation:

Cell reference in excel is the like referring to other cells to a cell to use its values or its properties, in simple terms if we have data in some random cell A2 and we want to use thatvalue of cell A2 in cell A1 we can simply use =A2 in cell A1 and this will copy the value of A2 in A1, this is called as cell referencing in excel.

Types of cell reference:

• Relative cell references: It does not contain dollar signs in a row or column, e.g. A2. Relative cell references type in excel change when a formula is copied or dragged to another cell, In Excel, cell referencing is relative by default, it is most commonly used cell reference in the formula.

• Absolute cell references: Absolute Cell Reference contains dollar signs attached to each letter or number in a reference, e.g. $B$4, Here if we mention a dollar sign before the column and row identifiers, it makes absolute or locks both the column and the row i.e. where Cell reference remains constant even if it copied or dragged to another cell.

• Mixed cell references in Excel: It contains dollar signs attached to either the letter or the number in a reference. E.g. $B2 or B$4. It is a combination of relative and absolute references.
