Setting Up Formulas

Please remind me when I use the $ sign whilst setting up a formula?

RE: Setting Up Formulas

Hello Trish,

When writing a formula you specify cell refs e.g. B1 or C3 etc.. If you copy the formula, the cell reference is relative, meaning it will follow your formula. So if you were to copy your formula across 2 columns, then the cell reference in the formula will also move 2 columns.
Should you not wish this cell ref to move, specify the Dollar $ sign around the cell ref to "lock" it into position.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

Printing spreadsheets without opening them first

Here's a fast way of printing a spreadsheet from Windows Explorer/My Computer.

Go to the location where the spreadsheet is saved on your computer, then right-click on the icon next to the document and select Print from the menu.

The spreadsheet will automatically open, print and close itself.
