Absolute column with a relative row reference =$A2 If the cell formula was copied, the row remains the same (2), but the column is relative to where it's being copied. The above formula uses a relative column with an absolute row reference. Relative column and absolute row reference =A$2
#Relative cell reference excel definition how to#
What makes the absolute cell reference different then a relative cell reference (e.g., =A2) is if we copied the cell formula in B8 and placed it in B9, it remains "100." A relative cell reference would use the next relative cell for its value, which would be A3 and would have a value of "101" in the cell. For example, with the above Excel spreadsheet, if we entered this formula into cell B8, it's always "100" since that's the value in cell A2. The above formula is telling the spreadsheet program to show the value of cell A1 in the current cell. In the example below, the formula bar shows "=SUM(D2:D5)" which is a relative cell reference and not an absolute cell reference.Įxamples of an absolute cell reference Absolute column and absolute row reference =$A$2 If the formula contains one or more dollar signs ($), it is an absolute cell reference or a partial absolute cell reference. One can identify an absolute cell reference by looking at the formula of the cell.
