Differentiate between relative and absolute cell referencing techniques with the help of sample data.
Â
With relative cell addressing, when you copy a formula from one area of the worksheet to another, Excel records the position of the cell relative to the cell that originally contained the formula. This is the default mode of referencing in a spreadsheet. Absolute referencing, on the other hand, implies that the coordinates of a cell are not changed when a formula is copied from one cell to another. To make a cell address an absolute cell address place a dollar sign in front of both the row and column identifiers.
Â
For example, if the formula =A1+B1 is copied from cell C1 to cell C3, then it automatically changes to =A3+B3. But if the formula =$A$1+$B$1 is copied from cell C1 to cell C3, then it remains unchanged. The dollar sign locks the cell location to a fixed position. Therefore, when it is copied and pasted it remains exactly the same.
