Relative Reference: In this reference cell address (reference) change when you
copy formula to another cell.
Example: If the formula contains =A1+B1, copying it one row down changes it
to =A2+B2.
Absolute Reference: In this Reference address doesn’t change once you copy
the formula to another cell. The ‘$’ symbol is used to lock the row, column, or
both.
Example: If the cell reference is $A$1, it remains $A$1 even after copying the
formula to another cell.
Mixed Cell Reference: In a mixed cell reference, either the row or the column
is fixed using the $ symbol, while the other part changes when you copy the
formula to another cell.
Examples:
• $A1 → Column A is fixed, but the row changes.
• A$1 → Row 1 is fixed, but the column changes.
• Reference to Other Worksheet: A reference to another worksheet is
used to refer to a cell or range from a different sheet in the same
workbook.
Example: =Sheet2!A1
• Other Workbook Reference: A workbook reference is used to refer to
a cell or range from a different workbook (Excel file).
Example: =[[Link]] Sheet1!A1
