How does absolute cell referencing work?

Thanks

Sarah

RE: How does absolute cell referencing work?

Hi Sarah,

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:

Move data worksheet to worksheet

To move data from one worksheet to another, highlight the data.

Select and hold down the ALT key and position the mouse on the border of the selection until the mouse pointer displays four-headed arrows.

Drag the selection down to the destination worksheet tab.

When the arrow touches the tab, Excel switches to the desired worksheet. Now drag the selection to the correct position. Let go of the mouse and then the ALT key.

To copy data from one worksheet to another, select and hold down the CTRL+ALT keystroke combination and perform the steps above.
