  • Slide 63
  • What Does Relative Cell Reference Mean ? Means that the inserted cells formula is based on the relative position of the cell So, if the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the reference is changed Therefore, if you copy the formula across rows or down columns, the reference automatically adjusts. AB 1 2=A1 3=A2 63
  • Slide 64
  • What Does Absolute Cell Reference Mean? Always refers to the same cell or cell range, no matter where the formula is inserted.
