The cell reference | identifies the location of a cell and consists of the column letter and row number that intersect at the cell’s location. |
Relative Cell Reference | Default for all cell references. Identifies the location of a cell and changes when the formula is copied to other cells. |
Absolute Cell Reference | An absolute cell reference does not change when it is copied and pasted to other cells. |
Addition | =a1+a2+a3+a4 |
Subtraction | =a1-a4 |
Multiply | =a1*a4 |
Divide | =a1/a4 |
Relative Vs. Absolute Cell References | Relative cell reference identifies the location of a cell and changes when the formula is copied and pasted to other cells. An absolute cell reference does not change. |
