When we copy a cell formula to another cell our spreadsheet program updates the relative reference.

Absolute cell references allow us to make sure a specific column, row, or cell is referenced. We do this by putting a $ in-front of the cell reference for either the row or column or row and column.]]> 2019-03-25 21:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinmstein/excel2019/wish/345023711 C.
