What does relative value mean?

RE: Relative values

Hi Renee

the term relative values or relative cells mean these are cells that will change dependant on what cell you are on, now if you use relative values in a formula for example =d4+f2*h17
this will depend on where you copy this formula to if this was in cell f10 and you copy this down to f11 then the formula will become =d5+f3*h18

so depends on where you copy a formula to that is like the ones shown above it will change to be relative to the answer

hope this makes things clearer

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.
