Absolute cell referencing

how does this work?

thanks

RE: absolute cell referencing

Hi Anne,

A relative cell reference in a formula, such as A1, is based on a relative position of the cell that contains the formula and the cell the reference refers to. If the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the reference is changed.

An absolute cell reference in a formula, such as $A$1, will always refer to a cell in a specific location. If the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the absolute reference remains the same.

Hope that helps Tracy

Excel tip:

Adding up time greater than 24 hours

When you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours.
